Parallels Beta Adds Boot Camp, Desktop

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stuff-to-play-with dept.

Verunks writes "Parallels has released a new beta of its virtualization product for Mac OS X. This new release includes one major new feature, something Parallels calls Coherency: "Shows Windows applications as if they were Mac ones. Try it and enjoy best of both worlds truly at the same time. No more switching between Windows to Mac OS." Check out this Screenshot" More interesting to me is the Boot Camp support so you can have a single partition to run IE7 in Parallels to test compatibility of a website but reboot to play video games that need a little more juice.

    Are these guys in Microsoft's pocket with some kind of authorization for the WindowsOS itself, or can I just go on exploiting the fruits of Swedish piracy?

    Also, does it come in different colours? Because I know some girls who use Macs. They like their GUI to match their purses.

    Can you imagine IE 7 and IE6 as standalone programs on a KDE desktop?!
    I did, once. Woke up sweaty and screaming.

    Do you have pictures of it? I'd also like to see your desktop/setup at home, sounds "l33t" :)

    Well, yes it is! But imagine if Rosie were the only one who knew how to do the twirl at the end just right - then you'd need her every once in a while just to get... specific results. Y'know - so you keep dating Hallie, but keep Rosie in the closet for those special occasions. Okay, I believe I just disgusted myself...
