with complex Windows-only 3D CAD programs.</p>

the contents of their Windows virtual hard drive using Parallels Explorer,<br />
which is included as a free, stand-alone tool with every copy of Parallels<br />
Desktop 3.0. Users can drag files to and from the virtual hard drive, move<br />
or re-name existing files and create new folders.</p>
<p>* Vista Boot Camp Support: Existing Windows Vista Boot Camp partitions, as<br />
well as Windows XP Boot Camp partitions can be run in a Parallels virtual<br />
machine. Users can switch between running Windows in Parallels Desktop and<br />

virtualization," said Doug Fisher, Intel Vice President of System Software<br />

Virtualization Technology built into Intel CoreT Microarchitecture<br />
