Startup company Parallels has released software that lets Mac users run Windows, Linux, or any other OS and their applications side by side with Mac OS X. Parallels Desktop for Mac works on any Intel-powered iMac, Mac Mini, MacBook, or MacBook Pro. And unlike dual-boot solutions like Apple’s Boot Camp, it lets users run Windows and other applications without leaving OS X.Furthermore, “the difference in performance between Parallels and Boot Camp is negligible,” said Parallels marketing manager Ben Rudolph, in a cNet report. “Things move very, very fast.” With Macs now near price parity with PCs, does the Parallels solution make it more compelling to consider switching to a Mac?
