Freesome - Pete Hobson

Parallels, is the piece of software that convinced me to buy a mac. For a web developer, it really makes a Mac a must have, as theres no other way to test a site on all popular browsers... And it is a fantastic piece of kit, especially when combined with the wonderfully free VirtueDesktops switcher utility - ohhhhh what fun amazing people with tilt sensor switching :)

It would of been quite simple I think for Parallels to just sit back on their laurels, as I havn't seen any intel mac owners not running it... but.. check this out... the new beta has a whole host of pretty cool features, but its one called coherence thats completely bowled me over.

Coherence allows a windows app to launch on the OSX desktop, as opposed to within the VW window. Now combine this with full drag and drop functionality for things like file moving...and..well...i'm in heaven.

Oh, did I mention you can now boot from your bootcamp partition? :)

Theres a much less gushing and coherent write up here.
