Parallels released the RC (release candidate) of their Parallels Desktop software. I've been using Parallels during this beta period and will plunk down my $39 for this bad boy. In my opinion, this is better than BootCamp simply because I don't ever have to leave OSX.

What's new in Parallels Desktop for Mac RC?

• New look and feel


• Improved performance and stability


• Better and broader USB support


• Improved Shared Folder functionality


• Improved networking


• Better sound support


• Better fullscreen operation


• Resolved Suspend/Resume issues


• Uninstaller introduced


• National keyboards mapping issues have been fixed


• Red “Power Off” button now always acts like Power Off


• Blue “Pause” button now always acts like Suspend


• The “Pause” button was moved to the VM menu
  

Known issues:

• Some USB devices are still unstable


• FreeBSD 5.4 installation sometimes hangs
