Parallels virtualization software now on sale
Parallels today announced that its Desktop for Mac virtualization software is available for purchase for USD$79.99, following the conclusion of a Beta program that generated more than 100,000 testers from 71 countries and has resulted in the current stable, high-performance version. As a special incentive to new customers, the company will make the product available for USD$49.99 for 30 days following today’s announcement.
Parallels Desktop is the first solution for Intel processor-based Macs that enables users to run Windows XP – or any other operating system – simultaneously in isolated “virtual machines” directly on a Mac OS X desktop, giving them the ability to use Windows programs at the same time as their favorite Mac applications. This is different from Apple’s “Boot Camp” dual boot solution, in which users are forced to work in either Windows XP or Mac OS X, and must completely shut down one to access the other.
