Desktop 5 also delivers improved Linux performance with KVM (kernel-based virtual machine) paravirtualisation and OpenGL 2.1 support.Existing PCs and VMs from other virtualisation products can be migrated to Desktop 5 using the updated Transporter function.
"The thing that strikes me most about Parallels Desktop for Mac is that it is trouble-free, consistent with what I expect of Mac software, and has proved to be a remarkably convenient and easy way for me to maintain as much access to the world of Windows as I want," said beta tester Nic Clift.
The product ships with security software from Kaspersky and disk management and backup software from Acronis.
Parallels Desktop 5 for Mac costs $US79.99. Upgrades from previous versions cost $US49.00.
Those that purchased Desktop 4 on or after October 1 qualify for a free upgrade. Direct purchasers will receive a version 5 product key automatically, others should claim a new key from Parallels (proof of purchase required).
Keys for the Parallels Desktop 4.0 Switch to Mac edition work with Desktop 5.
