allows you to: 

ƒ  create powerful and easy to use virtual machines 
ƒ  use 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems inside your virtual machines 
ƒ  use Windows and Linux applications side by side with your Mac OS X applications, without 

restarting your Mac 

ƒ  concurrently work with the files and applications from your Mac and your virtual machine 
ƒ  create Parallels virtual machines from physical computers and third-party virtual machines 

To enhance your experience of running more than one operating system on your Macintosh 
computer, Parallels Desktop for Mac includes Parallels Transporter

®

 for transferring data from 

physical computers to Parallels virtual machines and Parallels Mounter for accessing your 
virtual machine's files and folders even when it is not running.
