Run Windows Programs on OS X…Now!

As previously reported on SvenOnTech, you can run Windows or any other x386 operating system right now on your Mac. The company that’s making this all possible, Parallels, has just went gold with its Desktop for Mac product. This means two things, really. One, a really stable way to run Windows, or OS/2, or Linux, on your Mac is here. Two, you have less than 30 days to score a discount on this otherwise expensive software solution for your Mac.

If you were smart enough to buy your full license during the beta like we were, than you should have already received your license via e-mail. If you don’t score on this deal now, the $49.99 price will soon become the full retail price of $79.99. Don’t forget, Parallels Desktop does not include the operating system, that is extra (from another retail source.) If you’re running Linux or have an old copy of an OS lying around, no biggy, but Windows XP ain’t cheap. So you’ll want to do all you can to save money now.

We’ve been running this solution and it’s various betas for a few months now and we love it. It’s fast, lean, and stable. Installing operating systems that don’t have bootable CD-ROM installs, such as OS/2, suck, but hey, just to be able to run our old beloved IBM operating system on our MacBook Pro makes us happy in the end.
