What is Parallels Desktop?
It's a virtualization application that allows you to run Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows at the same time without rebooting. Parallels lets you run your Windows programs right on your Mac.

Key capabilities of Parallels Desktop:

Run Windows and Mac OS X at the same time without rebooting.
Run Windows programs right on the Mac desktop.
Run select Windows-only 3D games and graphics apps.
Recover Windows from system crashes and viruses with a click.
Open Mac files with Windows apps and Windows files with Mac apps.
Share files and folders between Mac OS X and Windows.

Ideal for Switchers
If you're thinking about switching and need to ease your transition, a Mac running a virtualization application like Parallels Desktop is an ideal option. You'll still be able to use Windows while learning how to use Mac OS X. You'll also be able to run your Windows programs that are not available for Mac.
