It looks like Parallels is going to get 3D acceleration into the Mac version in the upcoming Release Candidate for 3.0 in the next few weeks. Its about time! I’ve never used Bootcamp (I don’t like the idea of having 256MBs of VRAM whittled down to 64MBs just because its running Windows) and VMware’s Fusion just isn’t cutting it for me. Parallels is THE virtualization tool for the Mac. Period.

The smart guys over at Parallels have also added a sweet new feature for people like me who use Mac OS X and Windows at the same time at work, called SmartSelect. When you right click a file in either Mac or Windows and you open the Open With menu item, Parallels will populate that list with appropriate apps from both OSes! Very sweet. I’ve very, very, very pleased with Parallels.
