Sitting working on my Mac the other day, it suddenly occurred to me that there are some Windows applications an emulator needs to run that are exclusive to the Windows environment - ie. Mailwasher, AVG, etc.

This is a simple Parallels 4.0 styled application that will allow users to access some of those Win apps from within a Parallels styled window.

Please note that while this app emulates Parallels to a large degree, some of the pop-up windows are pseudo. I have also assumed that the user is running a Leopard emulation theme utilizing Windowblinds. To further enhance your Parallels experience, I have included a "Luna" WB theme in the pack so that you can specify an XP theme for the applications you choose to run from within this window. I have also included a set of Parallels icons (png and ico) for your dock and also a pseudo reflection icon of Parallels for those users using Rk Launcher, Rocketdock etc.

Available for three display sizes - 1024x768, 1280-1024, 1440 x 900

Finally, this is only intended to be a bit of fun and there is also something that I as a Mac user, finds darkly ironic:

A Windows machine, emulating a Mac, emulating a PC....

Its a strange, strange world.....

Enjoy

Man, whatever you're smoking / inhalating / injecting into yourself, I want some!

Just joking. I think this is one of the best ideas I've seen so far. Ideal for emulation screenshots. Does it support a Parallels Coherence mode? http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/...ures/coherence/

LOL.. cheers mate!

Unfortunately no. This is just a portal really - more than a working Parallels app. Its very limited at this stage and unfortunately, my PC programming skills are not the best, but if I get a change I will take a look..

The reason I threw this together is because I was playing around with the latest release of Parallels on one of my Macs and the irony of PC-Mac-PC was too good to miss out on...
