Parallels Desktop for Mac is officially out, and it looks a lot like the
beta release we told you about a few weeks ago.
Parallels, for the uninitiated, is software that lets you install multiple operating systems on a Mac, and lets you launch an operating system from inside of Mac OS X without needing to reboot the computer, like you would with Boot Camp.
Here's some of the updates in the newest version:
- Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard host support
- Windows Vista guest OS support
- Ability to launch Windows applications on the Mac desktop and launch them from Dock
- Drag and drop
There's a 15-day free trial available. The full version will set you back $80 plus whatever it cost to get your hands on the guest operating system you're installing.
