Ease any Windows separation anxiety with Parallels Desktop 6 Switch to Mac Edition. For $99.95, you have the capability to run both Windows and your Mac OS simultaneously! This is also perfect for Windows-based courseware.

As if that wasn’t enough, Apple is also providing college students and educators alike with a free $100 gift card with the purchase of certain Macs. Good for the Mac App Store, iTunes Store, App Store, and the iBookstore, the gift card promotion will run until September 20.
