For a moment, three vendors were standing, but as the cheers of the Mac faithful at the keynote address faded, one took a dive.<\/p>\n<p>For ages the lone developer of Mac virtualization software, Microsoft unexpectedly announced that it would stop developing Virtual PC for Mac. This move coincided with VMware&#8217;s entry into the Mac market and startup Parallel Software International&#8217;s defense of its turf with an announcement of a major upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>Virtualization giant VMware announced that by the end of the year, it would jump into the ring with a beta that would be able to run Windows Vista.<\/p>\n<p>Parallels, a small company based in Herndon, Va., and less than a year old, announced that it would beat VMware to the punch and ship a Vista-ready, final release version of Parallels Desktop before VMware delivered its beta.<\/p>\n<p>At WWDC, however VMware had the goods, previewing pre-beta VMware code running Windows Vista Beta and AutoCAD on a Mac Book Pro. The company said that the Linux and Windows versions of VMware formed the core of the Mac version. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Rizzo at eWeek has written an article, Windows on Mac OS X: Virtualization Turf War Heats Up about the potential competition that Parallels Desktop for &#8230; <a title=\"eWeek Article: Windows on Mac OS X: Virtualization Heats Up\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/macvm.com\/eweek-article-windows-on-mac-os-x-virtualization-heats-up\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about eWeek Article: Windows on Mac OS X: Virtualization Heats Up\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,12,7],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/macvm.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/macvm.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/macvm.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/macvm.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/macvm.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/macvm.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/macvm.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/macvm.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/macvm.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
