Parallels Workstation 2.2 for Windows

Parallels Workstation is the most powerful, easiest-to-use, cost-effective desktop virtual PC solution available today. It has the ability to create completely networked, totally secure independent, maximally stable virtual machines on a single physical machine.

The sophisticated virtual machine engine enables each virtual machine to work with its own processor, RAM, floppy and CD drives, I/O devices, and hard disk – everything a physical computer contains.

Use Workstation to

• Lower hardware costs by allowing multiple OSes to be installed on a single PC
• Run Legacy applications or play games on older OSes
• Test new software in a protected environment 
• Run network based software from a single PC
• Create self-contained virtual PCs which can work with multiple OSes and software configurations simultaneously – ideal for education or training classes

STABLE VIRTUAL MACHINES - Parallels Workstation is the first desktop virtualisation solution to include a lightweight hypervisor that directly controls some of the host computer’s hardware resources

FUTURE PROOF - Parallels Workstation’s lightweight hypervisor fully supports the benefits of next-generation CPUs built on Intel’s VT architecture, and will support AMD Pacifica architecture when it is released to the general public
