Parallels has this week announced they have now updated their Desktop 7 for Mac systems that will also include support for the new Apple MacBook Retina Display, unveiled earlier this year. Watch the video after the jump to see the Parallel software in action, running Windows OS on Mac systems.
Enhanced Features and Performance
The Parallels 7 software will be available as an upgrade for users of Parallels Desktop versions 5 and 6 to download, and made available in retail on September 6th 2012. Parallels explains:
“more than 90 new and enhanced features in Parallels Desktop 7 include Mac OS X Lion integration, performance boosts and a powerful new Parallels Mobile app and My Parallels services platform for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch devices.”
These enhancements are designed to provide a seamless experience for users who need to run Windows applications on their Mac systems. The integration with Mac OS X Lion ensures that users can take advantage of the latest Mac features while still having access to Windows applications. Performance boosts mean that applications will run faster and more efficiently, making it easier for users to switch between operating systems without experiencing lag or slowdowns.
Support for Upcoming Operating Systems
Parallels also stated that Parallels Desktop 7 and Parallels Mobile will be updated to support the final releases of Microsoft’s Windows 8 and Apple’s OS X Mountain Lion that will be arriving later this month. This forward-thinking approach ensures that users will not be left behind as new operating systems are released. By providing support for these upcoming systems, Parallels is demonstrating their commitment to keeping their software up-to-date and compatible with the latest technology.
The inclusion of support for the Retina Display is particularly noteworthy. The Retina Display offers a much higher resolution than previous MacBook displays, providing a clearer and more detailed visual experience. By updating their software to support this new display, Parallels is ensuring that users can take full advantage of the improved visuals when running Windows applications on their MacBook.
Additionally, the new Parallels Mobile app and My Parallels services platform for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch devices offer users the ability to access their Windows applications on the go. This means that users can work on their Windows applications from their mobile devices, providing greater flexibility and convenience.
Overall, the updates to Parallels Desktop 7 demonstrate the company’s commitment to providing a high-quality, seamless experience for users who need to run Windows applications on their Mac systems. With support for the latest operating systems and the new Retina Display, as well as enhanced performance and new mobile capabilities, Parallels Desktop 7 is a powerful tool for users who need to bridge the gap between Mac and Windows.
