Parallels has announced that Parallels Desktop for Mac has sold more than one million copies.

"Parallels Desktop not only broke down the barrier between the Mac and PC worlds, it also broke down the barrier that kept desktop virtualization from becoming a mainstream technology for consumers and professional users," said Serguei Beloussov, CEO. "We will continue innovating to extend our position as the desktop virtualization leader and provide our users with the fastest, easiest and most seamless solution available."

The award-winning software is the first product ever to enable Mac users to run Windows, Linux or any other operating system and their critical applications at the same time as Mac OS X on any Intel-powered Apple computer.

Parallels Desktop for Mac’s success has quickly made Parallels the No. 1 company in desktop virtualization. Today, the software is available in 10 languages—Chinese, Czech, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, and Spanish.

Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac sells for $80. A 15-day trial is available here.

Editor's note: One-million copies of an app for running 'doze, etc on OS X? That's quite a few switchers.

The impulse purchase value for switchers is obvious, but I'm wondering how many actually use Parallels since moving to the Mac?

The fairer platform is beguiling...

Posted by Guest Poster #3 on 04/24/08 11:27 AM Look here to see how you can get Parallels for $64.99 (bundled with a bunch of other apps valued at over $400): www.mupromo.com Posted by Guest Poster #4 on 04/24/08 3:47 PM Hey, why has no one examined if and how Micosoft got stuck with VirtualPC while we Mac users got two new virtualizing apps, assuming that the three products do similar things. What happened to MS's VPC? VirtualPC, VMWare, & Paralells. Posted by Lino Positano on 04/24/08 10:21 PM I use Parallels w/ XP SP2 to make screencasts for clients as well as being able to use the NASCAR Trackpass... Parallels...

They bought it for the Windows version, to compete with Citrix and other virtualization providers. The Mac version came along for the ride. Mac VPC still works on PowerPC Macs (I still use Version 6 on my 2002 Quicksilver), and the Windows version (I believe) is still a free download from M$. Posted by Guest Poster #8 on 04/25/08 10:23 AM I downloaded Parallels and also had to wade through 27 pages of instructions. Boot Camp also was a very big pain to get it to run. I was not successful with either application. I downloaded VMWare, and in a few minutes i was up and running Windows XP without a single hitch and I read no instructions on how to do it. It was a complete breeze. It still runs effortlessly with never any problems. Posted by Guest Poster #9 on 04/25/08 4:00 PM you're either retarded or stupid. Set up with Parrallels and VMWare is almost identical. que?? Posted by Guest Poster #10 on 04/25/08 8:18 PM to Guest Poster #8, Is M$ having success competing "with Citrix and other virtualization providers?" s M$ having success competing Posted by Lino Positano on 04/25/08 9:13 PM to Lino Positano Is M$ having success competing with ANYONE at the moment? Steve Ballmer should be made life president of that company. That should completely kill it in no time.
