Occasionally people tell us that this blog can be too focussed on Macs so here’s a little something for the PC users out there (we hear there are still a few of you around!)...
Parallels has opened the sign up for the beta test of its virtualization-based Windows 7 migration and integration solution. There’s lots of buzz around Microsoft’s upcoming operating system, probably because the reports from early beta testers are that it’s "what Vista should have been." That said, experts predict that many users who upgrade will encounter compatibility issues preventing them from running popular existing applications like Roxio 2009, AOL Instant Messenger and many custom business applications.
Parallels is addressing this compatibility challenge with a fantastically exciting new product that leverages our high performance adaptive hypervisor, as well as our award-winning, patent-pending technologies such as Coherence and SmartSelect: innovations that enable our users to seamlessly run differing OSs and their applications side-by-side. Customers will benefit from our recognized industry-leading capabilities in 3D graphic support, USB compatibility and unmatched performance. The solution also integrates Parallels’ easy-to-use migration tools, such as Parallels Transporter, allowing users to quickly transfer applications and data from older Windows operating systems such as Windows 2000, XP or Vista to a new Windows 7 machine.
