As virtual machines have become more popular, software for managing them begins to become necessary. Responding to this, BriteMac has released VM2Go, a shareware utility that allows users of the best-selling Parallels Desktop for Mac to easily load and maintain the individual virtual machine profiles they've created with the program. Virtual machines can then be transferred to an external drive such as an iPod, DVD or thumb drive.

VM2Go is available for a US$14.95 shareware registration fee and is a 1.5 megabyte download for free, although will require registration after being run 20 times according to Macworld News.

If you've tried the program and had either a positive or negative experience with it, let us know.
