Publisher's Description
From Parallels:
Parallels Desktop for Mac is the first solution that gives Apple users the ability to run Windows, Linux or any other operating system and their critical applications at the same time as Mac OS X on any Intel-powered iMac, Mac Mini, MacBook or MacBook Pro.
Unlike dual-boot solutions, in which users must completely shut down Mac OS X and endure a full OS start-up cycle to access a important application, Parallels Desktop for Mac empowers users with the ability to run important Windows programs like Outlook, Access, Internet Explorer and all other applications without having to give up the usability and functionality of their Mac OS X machine even for a few minutes.
What's new in this version: More than 80 new and improved features of the Parallels Desktop 6 experience include:
- Launch Time: Run Windows applications 41 percent faster than Parallels Desktop 53
- Full 64-bit Engine: Take advantage of all of the capabilities of your 64-bit Mac and enjoy the fastest virtual machine performance yet
- 5.1 Surround Sound: Savor rich, immersive audio experiences for games, music and videos
- Enhanced 3D Graphics: Enjoy more life-like visual action and play a ... See all new features

"No good if you can't buy it from a Mac."
Version: Parallels Desktop 6.0.11822
Pros
Haven't found any yet.
Cons
Can't buy from a Mac.
Double charged from two separate locations. Caused hold on credit card.Summary
Covered before but it's amazing that a company that sells Mac Software won't let you order from a Mac. I tried and failed. Worse than that even though their website wouldn't complete the transaction they tried to charge my credit card twice - once from Europe and once from Minnesota which automatically put a hold on my credit card.

"Can't buy it - ASP website doesn't work with Safari Mac"
Version: Parallels Desktop 6.0.11822
Pros
Can't review if I can't buy it. Pathetic that a Mac sw company would use a Windows shopping cart that doesn't work with Mac software.
Cons
need I say more... have your Windows web lackey TEST the shopping cart with a Mac browser on a Mac system.
Summary
No option to offer just a comment? Wow -- when VT got bought out by CNET, it really lost so much. Glad I have all the ads, though. I surely don't get enough of those. Star rating does NOT reflect the actual product -- just the choices made by the distributors to use a lame shopping cart that precludes the purchase of the product. ASP is an awful dev language -- w3c compliance? I think not.
Sucked it up and used a different machine. Successfully purchased. Will review when it arrives.
