Using virtualization to run guest operating systems alongside OS X benefits users by augmenting the Mac experience rather than replacing it. While Apple has offered its Boot Camp drivers and utilities for dual-booting OS X and Windows, often the speed benefits from running Windows directly on Apple's hardware without OS X loaded come secondary to simply using the services provided by the Windows OS.

This approach helps not only in integrating Windows applications and services, but also with testing programs in virtualized versions of OS X before you install them directly on your Mac. Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion are two of several available options for running guest operating systems within OS X so you can use applications and services supported for those operating systems along with your OS X applications without having to leave OS X and boot directly to them.

VMware Fusion 5 is available for download today, and the next version of Parallels Desktop will be released very soon on September 4. Both Parallels and VMware have announced the availability of the next versions of their popular virtualization software for running Windows and other operating systems within OS X.
