  • WARNING: Turn your SOUND OFF before hitting PLAY. It's one of those WTF Songs...

  • Parallels came to our office in Los Angeles for a demo. The Parallels VP of Sales David Feldman showed up at our office drunk and smelling of wine. He talked for 20 minutes straight about things like how he invented texting and other nonsense. We will never have parallels back.

  • song ?

  • This is 100% epic.

  • no, i bought it and its never been online, its just fucking shite

  • seriously parallel is the shitest thing ever, never even opens for me any more, unbelievably shit, i never write these kind of comment but i had to warn u DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!

  • if it doesnt work ... than A. you got a virus for windows... or directed at parallels desktop... or B. you got it preinstalled on your mac and never paid for it...

  • Absolutely. I'm a certified Apple Consultant, and my company has installed Parallels many, many times with great success. It runs beautifully. If Parallels is not working for you, you should call a pro for assistance. There's nothing wrong with this software. In fact, it almost makes Windows bearable for me.

  • i usually only buy windows computers... but when this program came out i bought a mac... i love the program!

  • windows just got pwnged!

  • how do you put ur startup dock on to ur mac desktop? ive seen it in stores just dont know how

  • I have this Parallels V4 Its coherience works fine on a 1 gig mac laptop GOOD!

  • fuckin kool

  • Anyone who has a PC, GO FUCK YOURSELF!!! Stick with mac Always, It's BETTER for Your Soul, and like they say, "An Apple a day keeps the Doctor away!"

  • i mean i have an imac and i love it. but apple fan boys are just as annoying as microsoft ones.

  • fan boys in general just need to shut the fuck up

  • okay im a mac user and you're just crazy so calm down

  • anyone interested in buying parallels desktop for cheap msg me

  • VMWare owns all!

  • Fusion baby.

  • it says i need the CD inserted in my mac to boot it. what do i do. i dont have it.

  • You buy windows of course, (in case you meant you need to insert windows cd to install it)

  • Windows sucks. Use Linux. ;)

  • lol i <3 u linuxers.. pathetically cute :)

  • Haha. Thanku. <3

  • regarding to your comment, so if I have the windows cd already from another computer let's say from the brand new dell laptop that I just got can I use that cd??

  • cool but please loose the grey background lol

  • Parallels IS THE SHIT

  • You sure its THE shit, boot camp rulez.

  • thats cool...

  • i like that song!.. what's that?

  • your music taste is something else...

  • Show this: a Mac window (vertically) between two Windows windows. That is to say a Windows app with a Mac app in front of it with another Windows app in front of that.

    Oops.. not possible with Coherance. Invisible root window FTL.

  • Wow you've found a fucking mega feature I should probably dream day and night of?

    Why the fuck I would want to run stupid backwards mac OS interface and Windows XP? I would certainly NOT.

  • i agree with steven up. at least change the windows xp theme to silver XD

  • Does XP run better on the mac?

  • YES windows runs better everywhere else than windows itself alone..LMAO Windows sucks that much. I have been using linux with WINE (WINDOWS EMULATION) it runs better than the reel one lol I used to 3D modeling on Blender it never crashed, I try my work on the reel windows is frozed up right away and app switch off itself... Microsoft guys don't know how to program. apple rules see leaopard that is coming...

  • "Microsoft guys don't know how to program" - my god, dude, you don't now shit about programming if you say that :) Microsoft has THE best crew.

  • Ahh thats really messed up. It's like a desk covered in red and green papers all messed up. :S. I mean, why would you want a start menu in Mac os x?

  • I have recently switched to Apple and I am not looking back, as everyone else says. The only reason I would invest in Parallels would be to run my MsOffice applications, for which I had already invested in the past. To buy the full version of Windows XP + Parallels option is cheaper than buying the Office for Mac package. Macs rule otherwise and that is the end of the story.

  • Alxory .... And then there are ways to get your hands on Office:mac 2004 for free of course... ho ho ho.. ^^;;

  • Glad I switched to Mac. I think this program is really boosting Mac sales, ever since Apple has featured it on there website.

  • Now i'm going to buy a Mac!

  • anyone want to buy parallels desktop 3.0 or adobe premium cs3, message me

  • really sexy ^_^

    But what about 3D !

  • I luved this vid because it cleared me out of any doubts.... You see I have to bring a laptop next year and i love my macs, so i decided to buy one (but the school didnt let me) and i see this cool program that can run Windows AND Mac!!!! TOTALLY AMAZING

  • I know that if you use bootcamp with windows then you have to deal with all the security issues windows normally has. Can anybody tell me if using parallels causes the same problems?

  • ¿Causes the saParallel's doesn't _cause_ any problem[s]...

    When you install Windows you are essentially running WINDOWS. Any Windows virus/exploit/harmware, etc. existant could live on the Windows installation on a Mac.

    This isn't the fault of Boot Camp or Parallels. CrossOver allows one to run Windows apps on the Mac w/o using Windows. That would possibly minimize/eliminate any potential Windows virus/exploit susceptability...

  • So whenever I use Windows on a Mac, weather it's through parallels or with bootcamp, my computer will be as vulnerable to viruses and hackers as if I was running windows on a PC?

    I mean, if Windows accesses the internet directly then I can see how there could be problems since it would bypass any protection offered by OS X.

    If I run Windows in any way on a Mac should I install a Windows firewall? Sorry for my ignorance, I'm still learning about these things.

  • Yes, it's Windows. But if anything goes wrong you just unistall it and go on with your mac!

  • yes u definetly should get it for the windows side cuz u can get viruses on the windows part but not on the mac side unless u share a folder and are really clumsy with it....its essentially a sandbox which is quarantined but CAN get ifected if the user is dumb

  • I love this app, I can play all my PC games right on my Mac.

  • I love this app, best of mac(more user-friendly) and the best of windows(tons more programs availible) Unholy marrige? I think not.

  • That's wicked, mate.

  • @mrmckeb - if you need the speed of Direct X you can just boot the Mac directly into Windows.

  • Its "Straight Street" by The Fiery Furnaces. Awesome song and band.

  • your computer halfway sucks

  • Does anybody know the title of this music?

  • @glennsss you obviously don't grasp the difference between virtualization and wine. You are the n00b even if you're 40 year old and have a pack of stinking certs.

    Oh yes, the video. Amazing!

  • OMG NOW WE CAN DRAG AND DROP SOOO COOOOL

  • Ohhh , its almost as good as using wine in linux, in fact no its not as good, If you think thats impressive do a search for XGL, chack out a real OS

  • shhh noob, linux can't do what this video is showing. Sure we use wine but it's not so good, neither is cedega. And for what it's worth I use linux, I'm just sick of you noobs using ubuntu and thinking you're top shit computer hax0r, use a real distro. Or even better, use OpenBSD and see what a _PROPER_ operating system feels like.

  • HHAHA, what a fool, Isn't it funny how people with little knowledge are the first to start calling people "noob" I've been involved with computers for over 20 years have worked on everything from zx spectrum's to cray xt4's achieved a computer science degree at 20 (with a first) and have numerous other qualifications (MCSE, RHSE, CCIE) and plenty of experience, learn your place NOOB, and yes you can do exactly what is show with wine.

  • macs are fucking amazing.

  • Cool! Now if there was some way to run Windows on one monitor and Mac OS on the other -- simultaneously.

  • I wonder how Vista will go... besides the fact that it probably breaks the license agreement.

    Also, all these were very basic Windows apps... try DirectX! So much better the OpenGL.

  • Clever

  • you know what sucks about this video.. Windows

  • The music isn't awful, it's WORSE than awful. Pure crap.

  • Nice music choice :D

  • cooool
