Parallels Desktop Mac 2.5 Beta Parallels is actively developing Windows support into intel Mac users' hearts and minds. ;) ... The beta version of Parallels Desktop 2.5 has a new mode called "coherence mode", which allows Windows' windows to float among your Mac OS X windows, i.e. you can run the Windows version of IE7 next to Safari to compare how things look. Or run Microsoft Access in Parallels and still see your Macintosh MS Office apps behind the Windows version of Access. You can download the beta here: Parallels' Beta Test Page. Nicely done already, this update will certainly make a splash. It's basically what we wished Connectix would do for Virtual PC for years... - posted by Patrick Armbruster @ 18:55 [article link]
