Saíu um novo update, parece bastante interressante.

Parallels Desktop for Mac Update RC
Wins MacWorld Expo 2007 “Best in Show”


New Version, Available Today, Includes PDA Support, Better Drag and Drop
RENTON, Wash. – January 10th, 2007 – Parallels announced today that its Update Release Candidate (RC) for the Parallels Desktop for Mac, released today, has been named “Best in Show” at the MacWorld Expo in San Francisco. The “Best in Show” award is presented to the most elite of the several thousand products and services on display at the annual MacWorld Expo and Conference.
Parallels is demonstrating the Update RC at the company’s booth, #1643, located in the South Exhibit Hall, just behind the main Apple exposition center.
In addition to MacWorld Expo “Best in Show”, Parallels Desktop for Mac, the company’s product that runs Windows, Linux or any other operating system at the same time as OS X, without re-booting, has received a number of important accolades since its release in June 2006. They include the 2006 MacWorld Magazine “Editor’s Choice” Award (known as the “Eddy”), the PC World Magazine “Innovation of the Year” Award, and BBC World News’s “Best Tech Product of 2006.” The product was also the first non-Apple product to win the MacWorld Magazine Reader’s Choice award.
The Update RC includes two major new features:
  • Better USB 2.0 support. Faster support for a broader range of devices, including Palm PDAs and most webcams.
  • Improved Drag and Drop. Parallels Desktop now shares the entire Mac file structure between OS X and Windows. This means that a user can, for example, drag a Word file directly from OS X to Word for Windows, have the Windows program automatically open, and edit the file without creating a separate, independent copy in their Windows VM. When the user clicks “save” after modifying the file, the update file is saved directly to their Mac.
The Parallels Desktop for Mac Update, which is free for all registered customers, includes a number of groundbreaking features that completely change the way users work with multiple operating systems on a single machine. Most important among these new features is “Coherence”, a new view mode that lets users running Intel-powered Apple Macs to run Windows applications directly on their Mac, without ever seeing the Windows desktop. Coherence also lets users load Windows applications from their Mac dock, meaning that they can run important Windows-only applications like Outlook and Internet Explorer without ever leaving their Mac desktop.
The update also includes support for USB 2.0, CD/DVD burning in virtual machines, and a new "Transporter" feature that enables entire Windows machines, as well as Virtual PC and VMware Workstation virtual machine images to be migrated to a Parallels virtual machine running on the Mac, without having to reinstall the operating system or any applications.

Pois... realmente é vergonhoso que ainda não se tenham lembrado do Parallels Tools para Linux. Quando arranco o FC5/Ubuntu, é um suplício... o rato anda aos saltinhos, fica lentooo...... com o Windows 2000, aquilo corre mais rápido que os meus dois P3 em conjunto! :D
 
Parallels RC3

Owners of Intel-based Macs were treated to a new beta of Parallels Desktop on Friday. Release Candidate 3 (build 3170), as it's known, offers a pair of crucial updates as well as a handful of new features.

Particularly important for some is enhanced Vista support: Parallels Desktop users with a copy of Windows XP already installed can now upgrade to Vista from within the shell itself, sparing the headache of requiring a clean install. Peripheral hardware also received a major boost through USB 2.0 support, letting hard drives and Apple's iSight camera run at the full speed of the serial bus.

Testers willing to try the new test version also had access to Transporter RC3, a tool that creates a virtual machine out of an actual Windows PC's installation; a more secure drag-and-drop tool that prevents files from being shared on a global level without permission; and various fixes for issues with OS X 10.5 Leopard and USB.
