  • Integrated view presents Windows applications without the Windows desktop. Effectively manages system resources, letting you run a Windows virtual machine on even a dated MacBook. Windows virtual machines can access Mac documents. Automatically configures networking, sends Windows print commands to OS X, and otherwise sets low-level basics.
  • No Windows DirectX 10 or 11 support. Doesn’t play Bluray movies. OS X virtual machines require OS X Server, not standard installations. Can’t view applications as individual windows with Ubuntu. Can perform slowly in some situations, including games.
  • Parallels Desktop 6 for Mac doesn’t just run Windows on a Mac, it presents Windows applications within OS X. That twist can fundamentally change the way you work and play.Parallels Desktop 6 for Mac...

  • Linux compatible; fast; lots of tweaks available
  • Sneaking the third-party MacFUSE app into the system without clearly asking permission
  • Parallels 6 is a slick and fast package to run Windows and Linux operating systems on Intel Macs. The new version feels faster, even if the WorldBench 6 test showed little difference to the latest Vware Fusion 3.1.2. Hundreds of tweaks are available altho...
