Parallels is preparing to release a Feature Update for its Desktop 3.
The new build (5144), which currently is in Release Candidate status, sports several GUI improvements, like capability to boot in Coherence Mode and Trasporter support for Linux PCs and VMs.
New features are:
SmartSelect: A wicked cool new feature that lets you assign any OS X or Windows application as the default for any Mac or Windows file type. This means that when you right-click on any file in either OS and selects “open with”, SmartSelect automatically populates the recommended application list with compatible applications from both operating systems.
With SmartSelect, you can set Word for Windows to be the default application to work with .doc, .rtf and .txt files, so when you double click a file with that extension in either OS – even if it is an email attachment in Apple Mail – the file instantly opens the file in Word.
3D Graphics: The users asked for it, and they it delivered. Kick around your favorite Windows-only OpenGL and DirectX games and apps in a virtual machine on your Mac, without shutting down OS X!
The new version will be available in just a few weeks.
