"Parallels Desktop for Mac 3.0 virtualization software lets you run Windows XP and Vista on an Intel-based Mac, and includes several enhancements that deepen your ability to run the Mac and Windows operating systems side by side. Its big new feature, support for 3D graphics, allows you to play PC games on a Mac, too--but the number of titles it supports and the resolution at which you can play are limited right now," Eric Dahl and Narasu Rebbapragada report for PC World.
"For now, serious Mac-PC gamers should stick with Apple's Boot Camp, in part because of its better DirectX support."
MacDailyNews Note: Parallels Desktop for Mac supports much more than just Windows XP and Vista. It supports:
• Microsoft Windows 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista
• Linux Distributions - SUSE, Red Hat, Debian, Fedora Core, Mandriva, and more
• FreeBSD, OS/2, eComStation, Solaris, MS-DOS, OPENSTEP, and OpenBSD 3.8
