Parallels Announces Premium Edition for Mac

Premium Edition includes award-winning virtualization, security, disk
management and backup solutions in a single, affordable package

RENTON, Wash., December 5, 2007 -- SWsoft, maker of Parallels Desktop for
Mac, the #1 selling Mac system utility that allows users to run Windows
side-by-side with Mac OS X on any Intel-powered Mac, today announced the
release of Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac Premium Edition -- a complete
virtualization solution for Intel Mac users that includes Parallels Desktop
3.0 for Mac, plus easy-to-use utilities from leading third-party software
companies that help keep Windows virtual computers safe, secure and running
smoothly.

Award Winning Utilities Coupled With Parallels' Award Winning
Virtualization As part of its commitment to providing Mac users with the
easiest, most complete virtual computing experience possible, Parallels
Desktop 3.0 Premium Edition supports the latest Leopard-compatible build of
Parallels Desktop 3.0 - which is available as a free update for all
Parallels Desktop 3.0 users as of today - with three award-winning
utilities that help users secure, back up and customize their Windows
virtual machines. Bought separately and new, these three utilities cost
more than $175.

* Complete Malware Protection from Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 To
protect against the viruses, spyware, spam and malware that can harm any
Windows machine, even virtual ones, Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 is
included with Parallels Desktop 3.0 Premium Edition. Kaspersky offers
"Triple Threat" protection, including automated hourly anti-malware
updates, intelligent active heuristics that provide proactive protection to
investigate all unknown files and real time behavior analysis for
consistent monitoring of a system's activities for any malicious behavior.

* Fast, Easy Backup with Acronis True Image 11 Home Acronis True Image 11
Home is the latest version of Acronis' award-winning backup and disaster
recovery software. With Acronis True Image Home, users can easily back up
individual files on their Windows virtual machine or take an entire image
of their Windows virtual computer. Backups can be scheduled to run
automatically at any interval and can be stored on external drives, DVDs
and off-site computers via FTP.

* Simplified Disk Management with Acronis Disk Director Suite Acronis Disk
Director Suite provides the ability to resize, move, copy, split and merge
virtual disk partitions without losing data. It includes a boot manager
that allows users to boot other operating systems, such as Linux, inside
their Windows virtual machine.

"Maintaining and securing a Windows virtual computer is every bit as
important as it is for a physical computer," said Serguei Beloussov, CEO,
SWsoft. "We are pleased to work with Acronis and Kaspersky to make it easy
and affordable for our Mac customers to protect, backup and customize their
Windows virtual machines."
