Parallels Desktop 6 (and 9 other apps) for $49 through Mac SuperBundle

by Steven Sande Jul 14th 2011 at 2:30PM

The wonderful thing about software bundle offers is that they always have a couple of gems that you can pick up for a song. The current Mac SuperBundle, which lasts through Noon PDT on July 27, 2011 has a real diamond in it -- Parallels Desktop 6.

For US$49, you get Parallels Desktop 6 and 9 other apps. Buying it from the Parallels online store, Desktop 6 would set you back $79.99 (you can get it for $50 on Amazon). The Mac SuperBundle also adds in the Food Network Recipe Manager ($40), the Lion-compatible Money 4 ($39), DVD Remaster ($50), Intego VirusBarrier X6 ($50), and four more apps.

If you've been thinking about setting up a Windows or Linux VM on your Mac, but haven't decided whether to buy Parallels Desktop 6 or VMWare Fusion 3.1 ($80), or grab the free VirtualBox, this bundle might be your impetus to pick Parallels. Too bad they can't toss a copy of Windows 7 into the bundle as well!

What's interesting to note here is that you can use Parallels to install Snow Leopard and then use that to run apps that aren't Lion-compatible -- such as Quicken. That's assuming that Parallels is Lion compatible.

Of course, if Intuit would just get off their butts and give us an up-to-date version of Quicken, that wouldn't be an issue.

I thought that Lion was the only version of OS X that can be installed in a virtual environment?

This statement at the bottom of the web site is worth highlighting.

"All titles in the bundle are either Mac OS X 10.7 Lion compatible or will get compatibility updates after the release of Lion"

Speaking of "toss a copy of Windows 7 into the bundle as well!", does anyone have any suggestions where I may get a decent/good deal on a W7 OS Disc? I am interested in playing games on my Mac and wanted to pick up W7 to be able to run Boot Camp.

Any suggestions are much appreciated.
