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:
- Resolve issues with shared Windows applications when running virtual machines in Crystal mode on Mac OS X Lion.
- Improve compatibility with Launchpad introduced in Mac OS X Lion.
- Resolve other compatibility issues revealed while testing Parallels Desktop on Mac OSX Lion.

"Parallels will crash beware! Backup your Windows!!"
Version: Parallels Desktop 6.0.12094
Pros
Ease of switching back and forth from MAC to Windows
Cons
Unstable on the MAC system and tends to crash your VM OS easily. Also slows the MAC sys down.
Summary
I used to be a big supporter of Parallels. I was first out of the gate to buy it and started with version 3. While using Version 3 my OS crashed within the VM environment about 3-4 times. of course they have support FAQs to get you back up. I then upgraded my MAC to Snow Leopard and it crippled Parallels. Version 3 will not run on MACS Snow Leopard. So I had to purchase version 6 (80.00) so I could get back online again. I had to reinstall my XP OS again. Now since I have had Version 6 my system has crashed within the VM environment for about the 3rd time now. Guess what... It's still down and will stay that way until I find a better software. I may try out VM Ware.
