Towards the last phase of dual OS functionality

Much has been made of new Intel Mac ability to run both OSX and Windows operating systems. Boot Camp lead the way but what has taken much of the attention of late is virtualization systems such as Parralells. On a simple level tools such as this allow for the running of a virtual machine inside one OS to access the other. No reboot, just a shared environment.

Of course this utopia was not without its issues and the big one was centred on 3D protocols, Open GL and Direct X based apps. Well it seems that those clever folks at Parralells have delt with this issue in their latest release and the video below shows not just the ability to work under OSX and punch a hole through to Windows 3D and video intensive apps but also to do so without a big performance hit. Its very impressive stuff and a third-party app like this may well leave Apple' own Boot Camp out in the cold looking postively last years technology.
