Virtualization technologies on the Mac operating system reach a new step. Parallels Desktop’s most exciting feature that has been added is the possibility of virtualizing Mac OS Leopard Server and even Mac OS Snow Leopard.
More new features:
- iPhone support: start, stop and manage Windows virtual machines from the iPhone
- Anti Virus and Firewall: includes Kaspersky Internet Security for virtual Windows machines
- Backup solution: includes Acronis True Image Home version
People having bought Parallels 3.0 since September 1st, 2008 are eligible for free update, otherwise an update fee of 49$ will apply (or 39$ if you order before November 30st, 2008).
You didn´t mention the most usability-boosting feature: now, volumes can be mounted and accessed from different OSes simultaneously – that means no more unmounting and reassigning back and forth of cd roms, external hds and so on. Lovely!
