So, in light of these major announcements, we felt obligated to respond. First, as I mentioned earlier, we released a great beta update that is FREE to all users (and to non-users who want to take it for a test-drive). Second, we gave a bit of insight into our plans for the next version of Desktop. The next version, due to hit beta by year's end, will include:
A groundbreaking new user interface that will make running Windows on a Mac easier and more productive than ever before
.
Never before seen security and management tools
Capability to burn CDs and DVDs inside virtual machines
Fast 3D graphics support
via support for OpenGL and DirectX. You'll be able to run games at full speed without leaving your OS X desktop!
An ACPI BIOS that provides the ability to run Microsoft Windows Vista
NOTE: For our Windows customers, Vista will be supported as a primary OS as well as a guest
More cool stuff that I can't tell you about right now.
Oh, and did I mention that we're working on Parallels Server for Mac? Look for that around the turn of the year as well.
