Parallels Desktop 4.0
Parallels Desktop 4.0 is virtualisation software that allows you to run Windows operating systems on an Intel Mac

Very fast. Running on a 2.26GHz Mac Mini and am very impressed with the performance. It seems to run as fast as if it were native. Good integration with Mac OS. Doesn't seem to have as much as a performance hit on the native OS
