Get out of Boot Camp with Parallels

OK, you’ve tried or considered Apple’s Boot Camp solution for running Windows on your Intel-based Mac, but it’s left you wanting, what with all the rebooting and all.

Parallels announces the latest Parallels Workstation 2.1 Beta6 for Mac OS X, enabling users to enjoy not only Windows, but Linux, and any other X86 operating system simultaneously with Mac OS X without having to reboot the system. Major changes in the Beta6 version include support for more USB devices, shared folder fixes adding support for guest Windows 2000, network improvements allowing host-only networking, and custom video resolutions support. Parallels Workstation 2.1 Beta6 also introduces an “Image Tool,” as well as an automatic update feature coupled with various bug fixes.

You can download the free, fully functional download for any Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.4.4 or later from Parallels website. You can also pre-order Parallels Workstation 2.1 for Mac OS X for USD$39.99 and save $10 off the regular retail price.
