Parallels Desktop for Mac Update Beta2 (Build 3094)

There are a lot of features and enhancements introduced in this Beta, such as:

• NEW!  USB 2.0 support – “Plug and play” popular USB devices like external hard drives, printers, and scanners, and use them at full native speed.
  • NOTE! Current Build 3094 doesn’t support isochronous devices such as web cameras, microphones, etc.
• NEW!  Full-feature virtual CD/DVD drive – Burn CDs and DVDs directly in virtual machines, and play any copy-protected CD or DVD just like you would on a real PC
• NEW!  Improved Coherence mode – The groundbreaking feature that lets you run Windows applications without seeing Windows just got better! Now you can:
  • Place Windows applications on your Mac desktop or in your application dock.  Just click to launch them directly from OS X!
  • Use Command+tab to cycle through Windows and Mac applications
    simultaneously, and “hide and show” Windows applications just like you
    would with Mac applications
  • View the Windows Command Console in Coherence mode
  • Use Coherence in Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP and Windows Vista!
• NEW!  Better Boot Camp support – Using your Boot Camp partition in Parallels Desktop is now easier than ever. Beta2’s Boot Camp support includes:
  • Full support for FAT32 and NTFS partitions
  • Easy offline configuration.  Simply tell Parallels Desktop
    that you want to create a virtual machine from a Boot Camp Partition
    and click start. No complicated set up required!
  • No need to re-activate Windows each time you switch between
    Boot Camp and Parallels.  Activate Windows only once inside Parallels
    and work in both environments
  • IMPORTANT!  It is not possible to suspend a Virtual Machine that is connected to Boot Camp as it could result in an unstable system.
  • VERY IMPORTANT!  Beta1
    (build 3036) users must boot natively into Boot Camp and uninstall
    Parallels Tools for Boot Camp prior to running it in Beta2 (build 3094).
• NEW!  Parallels Transporter Beta2 bundled – migrate your real Windows PC, or existing VMware or Virtual PC VMs to Parallels virtual machines! Learn more about Parallels Transporter Beta2 >>
  • IMPORTANT!  Beta1
    users MUST upgrade their Transporter package on their Windows source
    machine before using Parallels Transporter in Beta2. Failing to do so
    may result in a system crash and loss of data
