Coherence With Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac, you can run Windows applications like they were native to your Mac! Experience the new Coherence mode to enjoy the benefits of both operating systems, without managing two desktops. In Parallels Desktop 3.0, Coherence has been enhanced to make running both operating systems simultaneously even easier and more user-friendly.
Using Parallels Desktop 3.0's Coherence, you can:
Transporter Transporter is a powerful tool that enables you to migrate your entire PC system to a Parallels virtual machine. Migrate your entire PC system, including operating system, applications, files, and personal settings--without losing data or reinstalling any software. NEW! Now you can convert VMware Workstation/Server and Virtual PC virtual hard disks to a Parallels virtual machine AND migrate directly to your Mac using FireWire!
Installation Assistant built-in tool Thanks to Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac's Installation Assistant, installing Windows on your Mac is now even easier than installing it on a PC! This new built-in tool is already included in Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac. How does it work? With a powerful, easy to use "Express Windows OS Installation Mode" for Windows Vista and Windows XP, the Installation Assistant completely automates the virtual machine setup and installation of Windows--with almost no user interaction. Start taking advantage of running Windows on your Mac in just three easy steps:
After Windows is installed, the Installation Assistant automatically installs Parallels Tools, a free set of useful add-ons that improve networking, video, and sound support, syncs mouse activity and OS system clocks, and enables you to cut, copy, and paste of data, as well as file sharing, between Windows and OS X. Need to run other operation systems on your Mac? The Installation Assistant provides improved and user-friendly setup for other versions of Windows, plus any Linux distribution, FreeBSD, Solaris, OS/2, eComStation, and MS-DOS. NOTE! If you are already using Parallels Desktop for Mac, updating Parallels Desktop 3.0 does not require a reinstall of any guest operating systems or applications. After updating, you should only reinstall Parallels Tools.
SmartSelect Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac's new SmartSelect enables Mac users to open any Windows or Mac file with whichever software they choose--regardless of its original OS! Now you can open Windows files with any Mac software and Mac files with any Windows software. With support in both Windows and Mac OS X and deep document, email, and web-browser integration between the two operating systems, Parallels Desktop 3.0's SmartSelect frees you to choose the best software for the job, without interrupting your workflow. Previously, Parallels Desktop users had to copy a file into either Windows or Mac OS X to open the file with the application they wanted. Now, in Parallels Desktop 3.0, you can open any file from either OS and view it with the software of your choice. With SmartSelect, you can:
Imagine being able to double-click on a text document in Mac Finder and immediately launch Microsoft Word in Windows. Or synchronizing your digital life by playing all the MP3s in your music library with Mac iTunes--even if the files are located in Windows. Parallels Desktop 3.0's SmartSelect goes beyond document integration. It also supports email and web browsing. Immediately view a PPT file a colleague sent you in Apple Mail using Windows PowerPoint. Click on any hyperlink in an email or document and have your default web-browser--such as Apple's Safari or Microsoft's Internet Explorer--launch. With SmartSelect, the possibilities are endless.
Snapshots Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac's new Snapshots enables you to erase mistakes and recover your virtual machine from system crashes and viruses with the click of a button. Enjoy peace of mind with Parallels Desktop 3.0's Snapshots. A complete record of your virtual machine at the state it was created--OS, data, software, and settings--Parallels Desktop 3.0's Snapshots enables you to quickly and easily create and save multiple snapshots, even while your virtual machine is running. In the event a virus or a Windows system crash, you can conveniently rollback your virtual machine to any previously saved state with all of your data and software intact. (As opposed to losing all of your data and reinstalling Windows and all your PC software.) Additionally, periodically creating a set of backups facilitates faster recovery time to get back on your feet, if disaster strikes. With Parallels Desktop 3.0's Snapshot Manager, you can manage and view all of your snapshots in a tree pane that includes screen shots for each snapshot. Snapshot Manager enables you to revert back to previous snapshots, delete snapshots, and edit description information for each snapshot. Snapshots are excellent for:

No need to dedicate a separate Windows machine to running favorite 3D games and key graphics applications.

 Rating: - Great ProductI choose Parallels because I could convert my old Virtual PC images over, and it did it (thought I hit some weird networking stuff in the transition, I was nothing I couldn't work through.) As a web developer who uses a Mac, this is the easiest way to test web sites for IE compatibility. Rating:  - Too many bugs and glitchesInstallation went OK on my new iMac 2.8 Core2 Duo. Basic functions looked working fine. Internet connection had no problem. However, as soon as you try to do something more sophisticated, it doesn't work at all. Often times it hangs without any obvious reason and only way to get out of the status is reboot. Seamless mode never worked as advertised. No customer support. Forget about drag and drop between Mac and Windows - it will crash. It cannot detect external hard drive that is connected via USB. ...

I use it to run multiple operating systems on my Mac Book Pro at the same time. I need to run Quicken 2008 Home & Business when I'm away from home for my personal and business accounting. Unfortunately Quicken's Mac version does not support business features like invoicing, so I still use the far superior Windows version. Occasionally I'll encounter a web site that requires Microsoft's Internet Explorer too, so with Parallels I ...

If you have any problems with this program, and I've had several, you're basically on your own. I bought this program to be able to run some 3rd party software on my new mac pro. When I had trouble with one of the programs, I contacted technical support by e-mail. They responded a week later. (They claim to respond within 3 days). They told me that parallels ...
