It’s Not So Black and White
Just because you need to work with PC programs doesn’t mean you have to do it on a PC. From the company who defined — from the beginning—what it means to run Windows on a Mac, comes the all new Parallels Desktop® 5 for Mac, the most talked-about, award-winning solution to seamlessly run Windows on a Mac.
Windows Just Got Cleaner
Not only does Parallels Desktop® 5 for Mac fully support Windows 7 and its AERO graphics, it’s optimized for Mac OS X Snow Leopard. And now you can even use Multi-touch gestures (swipe, pinch, etc.) in your Windows applications, all while making Windows invisible on your Mac.
Big Things Matter and Little Things Count
Parallels Desktop® 5 for Mac hits the bulls-eye on big things like copy and paste of formatted text between Windows and Mac applications, as well as using your Apple Remote to control Windows applications like PowerPoint. In fact, we’ve given just as much attention to details like handy horizontal scrolling or dropping your favorite Windows programs into Mac’s Exposé.
