InfoWorld review Aug 7 issue

Parallels Desktop for Mac and Workstation for Windows and Linux run virtually any x86 OS you throw at them, and Parallels supplies post-install drivers for most common OSes that aid display performance and supply a few other tweaks. Used with the hypervisor alone, Parallels’ client virtualization solutions outperform VMware Workstation and Microsoft Virtual PC. But with Intel or AMD on-chip virtualization acceleration enabled, Parallels Desktop and Workstation create the kind of virtual machines that you can leave running constantly. That’s what professionals have been waiting for.



Very nice review:

Was thinking that VMWares offerings (on the PC) used similar "hypervisor" technology -- is this true, or is Parallels the first to use this?
