VM新選擇: Parallels for Mactel
Published by Chainsaw April 4th, 2006 in System Utilities.有說蘋果將會在Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard加入VM功能，但是各大商業VM廠商如VMware及Microsoft的Virtual PC，絕不會坐以待斃，努力侵佔Mactel這個新興市場。
這兩家企業似乎要面對一個新對手，它叫Parallels，他們宣佈會率先推出Mactel版的單機用VM軟件，名為Parallels Workstation。據Techworld報道，Parallels將會在下星期公佈有關Parallels for Mactel的詳請。但他們會特別會重視Legacy support，例如他們的VM可支援遠古至DOS 6.22及OS/2。（不知這個又可不可以）
這家Parallels有推出一般x86版的VM，他們的殺價政策，被指是迫使VMware要將他們的Server產品免費送贈的主因。
