Parallels 4.0 Released

Currently I use (and love) VMWare’s Fusion with a Windows guest OS to test Windows specific browser quirks. I used to use Parallels before purchasing Fusion and I still own a license for both. For me it was just a matter of preference… it just seemed like Fusion was more responsive and a little less buggy than Parallels at the time, so I stuck with it. Perhaps it’s time to revisit Parallels since they’re claiming that Parallels 4 promises a significant performance boost:

This new version of the award-winning Parallels Desktop for Mac improves OS integration, performs up to 50% faster and incorporates a range of security, backup and power saving features to give Mac users a truly easy, fast and powerful desktop computing solution.
