I'd like to thank the academy, my Mom, my teachers, my high school choir, the hundreds of thousands of Parallels users out there, and most of all I'd like to thank my dog Watson Copernicus II - without whom none of this would be possible.
Oh, sorry, I'm skipping ahead. Parallels Desktop for Mac has won InfoWorld's 2009 Technology of the Year Award! With over 1,5000,000 users worldwide (and growing each day), it has been, and remains the best product out there for running virtual PCs on your Mac.
We barely wrestled the InfoWorld Award away from the new Eviscerator 5000 LaserBot, so congratulations to Cyberdyne Systems for putting up such a good fight. Of course, InfoWorld isn't the only source of happy Parallels customers, we met a bunch of them at Macworld 2008!
As you can see, Macworld and InfoWorld are similar M-class planets,
both of which orbit a large glowing computer chip.
Parallels fans are easy to spot. They're the ones with the Parallels logo branded on their foreheads. Wait no, I'm getting confused with the new Cult of Parallels campaign that marketing has been developing. The Parallels fans are more like these nice folks:
These MacWorld attendees, and 40+ others, brought their Macs to the event -
all running Parallels software!
A big thank you to all the people that stopped by the Parallels booth at this year's Macworld 2009! We loved seeing and chatting with you. There are more pictures of course, plus some video and customer quotes, all on our brand new community BUZZ page.
Stop by that page and submit your own pictures. Show us your Parallels! Everyone who participates in our program shall receive special goodies. The most faithful of participants shall receive their very own branding iron to initiate other members! Remember, aim between the eyes; you only get one shot... Oops hang on, marketing is now telling me they've completely dropped that idea. The new BUZZ page will suffice for now, enjoy!
That's a wonderful name for a dog.

I'm using Parallels on my Macbook and installed Windows 7, however I'm not able to connect to the internet. It's unable to connect to internet giving me an error regarding Network Wireless Drivers. Any help would be great.
