Parallels posts new build of Parallels Desktop for Mac
Parallels just posted build 1898 of Desktop fro the Mac. This new build brings with it a number of changes that my Mac Pro using friends will enjoy. You still need to limit RAM for this to work on a 64 bit Mac, but there is now a GUI tool to do this, so you don't need to run the commands from the command line.This build as introduces support for Windows Vista RC 1 as a guest OS (which I am installing right now) and clears up some issues with kernel panics on Mac Pros.Look for a version of Parallels Desktop that will work on any Intel Mac using any amount of RAM in the next couple of weeks.
Parallels and the Mac Pro
Everyone with an Intel Mac, and a need to use Windows, is head over heels in love with Parallels. Well, almost everyone with an Intel Mac. Remember those super fast 64 bit Mac Pro Apple unveiled not too long ago? I thought you might. Well, it turns out that Parallels won't run on them, at least not without a few tweaks.Should all Mac Pro users get fitted for a hair shirt and some sunscreen? No, silly! Parallels, on their blog, assures us that Mac Pro compatibility will surface 'within the next few days.' How's that for turn around time?
Parallels Desktop for Mac release candidate
Do the people at Parallels ever sleep? It seems like only yesterday I had never heard of them and now they are THE VMWare solution for the Intel Macs, and their product isn't even out yet!Well, that is all about to change (at least the bit about the product not being out). Parallels today announced the availability of the release candidate for the newly rechristened Parallels Desktop for Mac (they thought workstation was too Windowsy).What's new in this release you ask? Here are some highlights: A new look and feel Better sound support Faster An uninstaller Looks good to me.Thanks, Cooly.
