Run Windows applications like they were made for your Mac.
With full for support Windows 7 with its AERO graphics as well as older versions of Windows, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac is optimized for Mac OS X Lion. Mac OS X Lion features like Launchpad, Mission Control and gestures work in Windows applications, making them feel like they were made for Mac.
Parallels Desktop includes a feature called Coherence Mode, which hides the Windows desktop while displaying Windows applications. Windows still runs in the background, but is hidden from view. Windows applications appear in the Dock, letting you switch between them without using the Windows interface. Isn’t that cool?
When no Windows applications are open, Parallels Desktop will pause, thus taking up very little system resources. Parallels Compressor is a feature that automatically compresses optimizes the virtual disk while you work for better performance.
