Parallels Desktop 5 for Mac

Now Compatible with Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Windows 7!

Run Your Favorite PC Programs on Your Mac without Rebooting

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.

Use All of the Latest Windows 7 Features

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.

Switch Seamlessly Between Windows and Mac

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.
