Full FeedNew version of Parallels supports Vista SP1, XP SP3
Parallels, Inc. introduced a new update to its popular Parallels Desktop application on Friday. The latest version, 3.0.5600, brings support for Windows Vista SP1 and Windows XP Sp3. It also fixes some other issues, including: Kernal panics, unusually high CPU usage, and improvements to shared folders. This update should have automatically downloaded for existing registered Parallels Desktop users - if not, you can download the update here as a DMG (88MB)
If you’re not a fan of Parallels Desktop, there’s always alternatives like Apple’s own Boot Camp and VMware Fusion. Boot Camp is included in Mac OS X Leopard and VMware Fusion costs $60.

Always interesting. I’m a heavy VMWare Fusion user, which IMHO is more powerful than Paralells, as there are clients for Linux, Windows and MacOS. Is so wonderful to share the virtual machines between OS’s ...
To be picky about this article accuracy, let me say that no way BootCamp is an alternative to VMWare Fusion or Parallels. Bootcamp is a means to natively boot into another OS. Nothing to do with virtualization.
