Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac has just been updated to include support for Windows 8 Consumer Preview. Announced today, the update to the popular desktop virtualisation software lets you download and install a copy of Windows 8 in a new virtual machine so you can check the spiffy-looking OS from Microsoft on a Mac.

Current Parallels Desktop 7 users can get the update by selecting the Parallels Desktop menu and clicking “check for updates”. Besides Windows 8, Parallels Desktop 7 also runs Windows 7, Google Chrome OS, as well as Fedora and Ubuntu flavours of Linux.

Die-hard Mac users may scoff at the idea of running Windows on a Mac, but hey, there are also folks who don’t mind having the best of both worlds. We are currently setting up Windows 8 Consumer Preview on Parallels Desktop 7, so stay tuned for our review!
