The new installer wizard is a nice touch, letting you buy Windows right from within the app, grab a free copy of Chrome OS, or just go the usual route with your own disc or image. We also ran a fresh installation of Windows 7 and Windows 8 developer preview, which a slightly redesigned install wizard (above) made a little less frustrating than prior versions. Keep in mind that we first used the same Win 7 VM as we were using in previous versions. Both booting up Windows and resuming Windows applications (more on that later) feels smoother. It is clear right from the top that version 7 is much faster than previous versions. We put the new version to the test with both Windows 7 and Windows 8 developer preview on last year’s iMac with 4GB of RAM.
Pretty much every new UI feature incorporated into Lion has been integrated into Parallels, and thus Windows 7.

The name of the game for the new Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac is definitely OS X Lion integration. However, Parallels Desktop 7 takes it to the next level with some of the deepest Windows/OS X integration yet. You might also be familiar with its Coherence view mode that allows you to run Windows and Mac OS applications side by side, rather than a full-blown Windows 7 in a separate window. If you are not new to Parallels, you will already be familiar with its ability to run Windows in a virtual machine within OS X.
