Parallels 3.0 released

The popular Windows virtualization tool for Mac OS X has just released the big 3.0 which we previously covered here. But in case you missed it the first time, here is the updated change list.

• Use Windows and Mac OS X at the same time…without rebooting
• Run Windows programs like native Mac applications with Parallels Coherence
• Open Windows files with Mac programs and Mac files in Windows programs with Parallels SmartSelect
• Share files and folders between Windows and Mac OS X
• Browse through Windows folders and access files without launching Windows with Parallels Explorer
• Run today’s most popular PC games on a Mac with support for 3D graphics
• Achieve maximum performance by leveraging Intel® Virtualization Technology
• Protect your Windows with Parallels Snapshots

In case you’re wondering how good the 3D support is, let me just say that it’s “Quake 4”-good. You can purchase it right now from their website for $79.99 or upgrade for $49.99.
