Parallels Desktop for Mac RC2 (Build 3150)
Feb 2nd, 2007 by admin
This is a bit off-topic but exciting non-the-less if you’re a Parallels junkie like me. The fine folks at Parallels have posted a new release candidate (RC2, Build 3150) of their Desktop for Mac product.
There was quite a span between release candidates this time around and after installing RC2 I can see the time was well spent. Performance is better overall, especially in coherence. Speaking of coherence, RC2 added a new feature (I thought release candidates were supposed to be feature complete) to coherence mode. You now have the option to remove the Windows taskbar all together in coherence mode. It’s a fairly simple addition, while the taskbar is gone the Windows hot key still works for launching apps. Minimized apps hang-out in your dock as before.
You can download RC2 from the Parallels beta site and as usual the support forums are already buzzing with RC2 posts.
