Brief Hands-On Report--Parallels Desktop for Mac Update 1970
Parallels Shared Networking. Running Windows in Parallels Desktop for Mac is now more secure than if you run Windows on a PC. Shared Networking enables multiple IP addresses to appear as one IP address on a network and effectively hides virtual machines from the outside world, making them far less likely to be the victim of a hacker attack. You can now connect both of your Mac and Windows to the Internet & computer network that only allow you to connect one computer.
Parallels Installation Assistant. We improved Parallels Desktop for Mac with a powerful new tool that helps you to install Windows XP or Windows Vista in a secure, stable virtual machine with a single click! Now your Windows installation on a Mac easier than on a PC!
We downloaded and installed Build 1970 and the new Parallels Tools with no problem. Then we launched and ran Windows Vista RC1. There were 6 updates to Vista available but we only installed one--the others were additional language packages. [Bill Fox]
