Integrating Mac OS and Virtual Machine

Parallels Desktop provides a number of features that ensure better integration between Mac OS X and your virtual machine.

The first step in integrating your virtual machine with Mac OS X is the installation of Parallels Tools in your virtual machine. Parallels Tools are a set of utilities that provide basic integration of Mac OS X and virtual machines. Parallels Tools are available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X guest operating systems.

For Windows virtual machines, Parallels Tools also provide a set of advanced integration features that make your work with Mac OS and Windows even more coherent. These features include Coherence, Shared Applications, and others.
