The Parallels Team is proud to announce that we are launching public beta testing for Parallels Workstation 2.2 for Windows and Linux, an improved, faster and much more powerful version of our popular Windows and Linux virtualization solution that empowers any user with the ability to run multiple operating systems at the same time on a single PC.

Parallels Workstation 2.2 Beta improves virtual machine performance and stability and includes a number of great new features that make using different operating systems simultaneously even easier. Parallels Workstation 2.2 Beta is now available to download and evaluate!

The update is FREE for existing Parallels Workstation users! If you have not yet purchased Parallels Workstation for Windows and Linux, now is the time to buy! Click here to get your copy now!

Download Parallels Workstation 2.2 Beta now and evaluate the great new features and improvements:

• Full support for AMD Secure Virtual Machine (SVM) technology
  This technology, similar to Intel Virtualization Technology, dramatically improves the speed, performance, stability and isolation of virtual machines by offloading some of the "heavy lifting" from our engine directly to the processor
• Shared Folders that allow users to share files and folders between OSes
• Improved overall performance and stability
• Better sound recording and playback
• NetBSD can now be used as a guest OS, and Solaris guest VMs work much faster
• Better USB support, including support for isochronous devices and Windows Mobile 5
• Other fixes and improvements
