Chris Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 A new beta version of Parallels Desktop for Mac offers Boot Camp integration and the capacity to run Windows applications so they look like any other Mac application. The $79 software — which lets Intel Macs run Windows XP concurrently with their Mac OS X system — introduces several new features, not least being a new 'Coherency' mode.Coherency hides the Windows desktop and makes Windows applications float on your Mac desktop, just like any Mac OS X application. The release also introduces the capacity to drag and drop files between operating systems, and the ability to boot from an existing Boot Camp partition, meaning users of both Parallels and Boot Camp no longer need to install Windows more than once on their Mac. The software can also read and write data to and from a Boot Camp partition, transforming the Boot Camp disc into a virtual hard drive.More | HereVideo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
