“For some time, Parallels Desktop for Mac has been the primary way I run Windows 7 on my Macintosh computers,” Dwight Silverman reports for The Houston Chronicle. “Version 6, released in 2010, outstripped its top competitor – VMware Fusion – in terms of both features and performance.”
“Now, Parallels has taken the wraps off a new version of its best-selling virtualization package, Parallels Desktop 7,” Silverman reports. “If you’re a current Parallels Desktop user, you can download the update today. For new users, will be available on Sept. 6.”
