Parallels for free (just don’t use it on a Mac Pro)

While reading my email today, I noticed that MacMall was offering Parallels Desktop for free with any Mac purchase. Sure, it’s only $80, but that’s still a chunk of change you could put towards RAM, a hard drive, or that copy of Windows you want to use with it.

There is one odd thing about the promotion. It includes the Mac Pro. Why is that odd? Well, it doesn’t work on it and will kernel panic it if you try. That might be a nasty little surprise for MacMall customers who assume it’ll work. I hope they include a warning because to date, even Parallels website doesn’t (unless you visit their forums). You’ll have to sit on that copy until it gets updated.
