“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 4 – Parallels Desktop 5 for Mac
THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. CONGRATULATIONS TO FAITHFUL MACESTEIN READER dlowe402.
Sure, we all love Apple and the ease of OS X, but sometimes there’s things you just can’t do on a Mac – like run the latest games, business software, and viruses. But who wants to go through all the trouble of partitioning their drive and rebooting into Boot Camp? When you HAVE to use Windows, you want to get in and out QUICK, and there’s nothing quicker than Parallels 5 for Mac. Optimized for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and boasting unmatched virtual machine performance, Parallels 5 lets you launch thousands of Windows apps directly from the Mac Dock. Best of all, Parallels lets you show as much or as little of the Windows interface as you like, so your friends won’t even know you’re running Windows, thus preserving your Mac Street Cred.
Choice is good. Not having to choose is even better.

Windows is a funny OS!
Windows makes me feel even better about being a Mac user! Thanks Windows!
Windows is great for things … like games. Wow. Gimme P5 now please 😉
Windows: brings light into your home! (Oh, you meant the Windows OS?? Really? The Microsoft one? Erm, well I guess they’ve improved since I left them after the Vista debacle. At least Windows software tends to be backwards compatible, something that cannot be said about OS X…)
Windows reminds me that no matter how badly I screw up, there are still people out there who will stand behind me for no good reason.
Windows allows us to temporarily run applications that haven’t been released for the Mac yet.
Windows is really good for Solitaire and has more applications designed for it.
Windows 7… eh, not so bad.
I would willingly sell my house and all its contents for a copy of Windows…
Windows 7… Each time they copy Apples features it gets just that much better… Windows 7 is the best yet…
Windows has pretty desktop pictures, built right in!
Windows Mobile is good enough for U.S. Army.
Windows is the reason why MAC keeps on getting better..
