(InfoWorld) - The newest version of Parallels Desktop for Mac â the software that enables Intel-based Macs to run Windows without having to reboot first â will be released on Tuesday. The software has undergone an extensive public beta test for the past couple of months. A free upgrade for registered users, Parallels Desktop for Mac costs $79.99. New features in Parallels Desktop for Mac include Coherence, a feature that lets Windows applications operate much like Mac applications by appearing in the Mac OS X Finderâs Dock. Also new is a migration tool called Transporter. It helps users move settings, applications, files and profiles to a virtual machine running on Parallels without having to reinstall Windows. Transporter also works with VMware Workstation and Microsoft Virtual PC (on PowerPC-based Macs). Another new feature of Parallels Desktop for Mac is plug and play support of USB 2.0 devices, including external hard drives, printers and scanners running at full native speed. One of the most important changes for Parallels Desktop for Mac is the ability to work with existing Boot Camp partitions as virtual machines. That means you donât have to install Windows twice on Macs that youâd prefer to use Boot Camp with sometimes, and Parallels for other times. Other new features in this release of Parallels include drag and drop support, Windows Vista compatibility and full-feature virtual CD/DVD drive use.

(InfoWorld) - VMware launched the RC1 (first release candidate) of its Fusion virtualization software that lets Mac owners run Windows on Intel-based machines, one of the last steps toward finalizing its rival to Apple's own Boot Camp and Parallels's flagship virtual machine, Parallels. Fusion RC1, which can be downloaded free of charge from the VMware site, is "feature complete," said VMware. Among the changes since Beta 4, which was released last month, is "Unity" support for Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, and the 64-bit edition of Windows XP. Unity lets users run Windows applications directly from the Mac desktop without actually launching into a Windows VM (virtual machine); the previous version of Fusion only offered Unity support for Windows XP. VMware also cited RC1 improvements to Boot Camp VM performance, faster resume from the Mac's suspend state, numerous bug fixes and "experimental" support for the developer's edition of Mac OS X 10.5, a.k.a. Leopard released by Apple at last month's Worldwide Developers Conference. Fusion is on track for a final release next month, said VMware. Until then, it will continue to sell the VM software at the preorder price of $39.99; when the product ships, it will retail for $79.99. VMware's competitors include Apple, which currently gives away the dual-boot utility Boot Camp and plans to integrate it in Mac SO X 10.5 Leopard, due to ship in October; and Parallels Desktop for Mac, Apple-sanctioned VM software that shipped in Version 3.0 several weeks ago.
