What's new in this version:
Its now easier to install Windows on a Mac than it is to install  
Windows on a PC! That's due to the inclusion of our new Installation  
Assistant into today's build of Parallels Desktop for Mac. The  
Installation Assistant will complete the entire installation process  
for you - you won't have to select any configurations, answer and  
questions, or make decisions about partitions or options. Just sit  
back, relax, and wait for the Assistant to finish. The Installation  
Assistant also automatically installs Parallels Tools, a useful set  
of add-ons that enable file sharing, cutting/pasting/copyings between  
OSes, syncs your mouse and system clock, and improves networking,  
video and sound performance.

The new build also includes a great new "Shared Networking" mode that  
enables you to get your virtual machine online, regardless of what  
type of internet connection you're using. Shared Networking works by  
hiding your virtual machine IP addresses behind your Mac's IP,  
meaning that even connections like DSL or Cable modems that only  
allow 1 IP to register will work with virtual machines. In short, it  
means that if your Mac is connected to the internet, so is your  
virtual machine. No manual configuration required.
