Migrating to XP to Win7 with Parallels

May 27 was at a joint press conference, Parallels and Microsoft. The first was a new product - Parallels Desktop Upgrade to Windows 7, the second - as a mandatory participant (and of the sponsor, must be understood ).

At the entrance to the hall poster - 'Parallels - N 1 ( AK: of course! ) On the market virtuflizatsii desktop ' Somewhere I have seen this, just heard.

Yes, in early April at Citrix, but it was the name of another company (in the sense - not Parallels). Generally, the term ' Number One ' is so often uspolzuetsya (and even different Igor in the same market ) that you can not pay. Marketers need to come up with something more spectacular, such as zero, and then go on a scale of negative.

In fact the essence of the announcement is given to the press release (. http://www. parallels. com / ru / news / id, 22880. ), And I 'll write some article esch in PC Week. Brief are there:.
----------------.
Using Parallels Desktop Upgrade to Windows 7 requires two basic scenario ( migration from XP to Win7):.

Upgrading the operating system PC with Windows XP or Windows Vista to Windows 7 while maintaining the applications and user data.
Porting applications and user data from your old computer running Windows XP or Windows Vista, the new PCs with Windows 7. In this case, a special USB-cable (supplied in the version of Deluxe), or the migration over the network, which includes old and new PC.
--------------------.

In general, a good thing (and not very cheap p 1200. ). But there are some questions and comments.

a. If Parallels - N1, then who N2? . Understood that in Russia - just do not.

2. There is not much delayed release of Parallels in such a thing? . A product designed for home users who have yet smigrirovali long. However, Andrew Horn (Director of Development Parallels in Russia) said he expects sales there to 200 thousand. copies (the Russian version will be released in late June ).

It is clear that the product is aimed at the sale does not have (and the rest from Parallels ). But then they suddenly decided to make the Russian version, and pressuhu hold?.

P. S. Written by and saw that it is not clear: what have the theme of your blog? .
