Parallels Desktop for Mac

$119

Parallels Desktop for Mac gives Apple users the ability to run Windows, Linux, or any other PC-based operating system and their critical applications at the same time as Mac OS X on any Intel-based Mac.

Unlike dual-boot solutions such as Apple's Boot Camp, in which users must completely shut down Mac OS X and endure a full OS start-up cycle to access an important application, Parallels empowers users with the ability to run important Windows programs like Outlook, Access, Internet Explorer and any other application without having to give up the usability and functionality of their Mac OS X machine even for a few minutes.

Why is Parallels Desktop the best solution for running Windows on a Mac?

Unmatched ease of use

Parallels Desktop for Mac is easy to download, install and use. Download the program and install it with a single click. Build a virtual machine in seconds using helpful wizards. Configure virtual machines using a simple, web-inspired interface.

Run any OS at the same time as Mac OS X

Use any version of Windows (3.1, 95, 98, ME, 2000, NT, XP, 2003, Vista, 7), any Linux distribution, FreeBSD, Solaris, OS/2, eComStation, or MS-DOS in secure environments running alongside, not instead of, Mac OS X.

With three different modes of running Windows: Full Screen, Single Window (pictured right) and Coherence, you can choose the best way to work.

Windows that works exactly like a genuine Windows PC

Use applications, access the internet, and work with any piece of hardware just like you would on a real PC, without the hassle of shutting down and booting up Windows, or switching between terminals. Create as many 'virtual machines' as your like, each with a different version of Windows. Perfect for developers and web designers to test their product in every type of operating system, without the expense of buying multiple PC's.

Easily share files & folders between Windows and Mac OS X

Using the Parallels Shared Folder tool, you can easily share documents and folders, or copy and paste data between any Windows XP, 2003 or 2000 virtual machine and Mac OS X. No networking or complicated set up required.

Optimise virtual machine performance and save storage space

Parallels Desktop for Mac includes Parallels Compressor, a powerful built in tool that can improve virtual machine performance and conserve hard drive space by reducing the size of virtual hard disk images by 50% or more.
