Real Versatility
Real estate professionals can run anything on a Mac.
Parallels Desktop for Mac lets real estate professionals run Microsoft Windows and Windows applications — including the latest versions of mainstays like Internet Explorer. So you can avoid the drawbacks of using a PC such as virus attacks at the worst possible times.
The freedom to run the software you have to use on the platform of your choice — getting the awesome graphics capabilities of the Mac — is an important consideration, since it enables you to project the polished image you need to be successful in real estate.
Parallels Desktop for Mac lets you run Windows and Mac OS X at the same time on any Mac powered by an Intel processor, such as a Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, iMac, MacBook, or Mac Mini.
Since you can have both Mac OS X and Windows running side by side on your Mac, you can drag files between Mac OS X and Windows applications. You can also copy and paste items between your Mac desktop and your Windows desktop.
Run mission -critical applications
“With an Intel-powered Mac and a copy of Parallels Desktop for Mac, real estate professionals are able to use mission-critical Windows-only applications like Internet Explorer at the same time as their favorite Mac OS X applications — without rebooting or complicated setup,” says Benjamin H. Rudolph, director of corporate communications at Parallels, Inc.
The fact is, Parallels Desktop for Mac harnesses the power of Intel Core Duo virtualization technology, enabling you to run any of your Windows-only applications — like Microsoft Project or Visio — at blazing speeds. And you can do it all while enjoying the ironclad security, ease of use, and superb functionality of the Mac.
Easy installation
Parallels Desktop for Mac is fully compatible with the latest operating systems from Microsoft, including Windows XP and Windows Vista. There are no RAM limitations, no need for hardware configuration, and almost no need for manuals. In a nice irony that people who have switched from the PC to the Mac will appreciate, installing Windows on a Mac is easier than on a PC. In fact, thanks to a built-in Installation Assistant, you can do it in three simple steps. Even a novice can build and configure a virtual machine and install Windows to run on a Mac. The software even installs and configures all your hardware drivers for Windows — automatically.
Greater security
Parallels Desktop for Mac now features Parallels Shared Networking, so running Windows on a Mac is a lot more secure than when networking on a PC. With Shared Networking, multiple IP addresses appear as a single address on a network, effectively hiding virtual machines from hacker attacks.
Parallels Desktop virtual machines function as isolated files that are securely walled off from Mac OS X, so you don't have to worry about Windows viruses, spyware, or malware infecting your Mac.
What’s more, you can use the built-in Parallels Compressor technology to shrink your virtual machine file size by an astonishing 50 percent or more, making it a snap to back up your entire Windows virtual machine on a network or hard disk, or burn it onto a DVD.
