Screencast shows off Parallels' new tricks

I've always mentioned something like this would be excellent and help the transition.

Citrix has this exact same feature.

Gandhi:
I think the thread where the latest beta was released in mentioned it would be a free upgrade after it was properly tested.

meatmcguffin:
You could always crack out SeamlessRDP on your virtual machine and rDesktop (as of release 1.5) into it, which splits all windows into separate entities using X11. It has some limitations and issues, and using explorer interferes with SeamlessRDP as the window manager (task manager works great for launching things in this case.) Coherency mode is faster, though, is built right in to Parallels, and doesn't require anything extra to run.

Just purchased Parrallels last week during Apple's Black Friday online sale. Now this latest beta is out, with some awesome features. Anyone know whether this will be a free upgrade to current buyers once this goes official?

And yes, I might as well put my two cents in on Parallels:

Hats off to this lot. They continue to make my life easier. Parallels is a great product.

Bahaha --

"... which lets you run Windows apps along side your Mac Application." What, there's only one? Are we back to _that_ argument again? lol

You make Fritz laugh.

Coherence mode is awesome. As was noted in the post, this doesn't work with Vista RC2 but it does work fabuously with XP SP2. Can't wait for 3D video and USB 2.

One feature I would like to see is the VMWare snapshot, and of course the ability to run OS X in a Parallels VM...

Coherence mode is amazing. Everything about this beta is awesome.

Don't feel bad for the Crossover folks.

Crossover doesn't require Windows at all, whereas Parallels Desktop does.

This latest update rocks though!

I don't understand Parallels. Does it require you to have a copy of XP, like VMware?
