Parallels Desktop 3.0 Released!
Parallels have just released version 3.0 of Parallels Desktop!
"The release of Parallels Desktop 3.0, which is the first major update of Desktop for Mac since the launch of the Parallels Desktop for Mac in June 2006, introduces over 50 new features, enhancements and improvements that make running Windows and Mac software at the same time on a single Intel-based Mac easier and more seamless than ever before. As with all earlier versions, this release fully and automatically utilizes Intel ® Virtualization Technology to deliver superior stability and performance while running multiple operating systems simultaneously." Read the rest of the press release HERE
Find out about it HERE
And download it HERE!
I'm downloading it now, but as usual the Parallels servers are having heart trouble and are running at reduced capacity - every man and his dog are trying to get it!

Aero does not work, but Direct3D does, will be trying soon a game (my all-time fave, being deus-ex) and see how it runs.
DirectX 9 is supported according to parallels website, and Coherence, fuck me it is much better! I had to cuss, because I'm very impressed

According to the parallels forums, half-life 2 will run nicely on a 2.16GHz coreduo in 1280x960. meh, Deus-EX better run, or blood will flow :P
