MacMall(R) Offers Microsoft Windows(R) XP Pre-Installed On New MacBooks(R), iMacs(R) and Mac Pros(R).

TORRANCE, Calif. -- MacMall (www.macmall.com, 1-800-MACMALL), a brand of a wholly owned subsidiary of PC Mall, Inc. (NASDAQ:MALL), is making it easier than ever for computer users to run both Windows and Mac OS X applications on a brand-new Mac. MacMall is offering configured bundles pre-loaded with Microsoft Windows XP Home or Pro software on new Apple MacBooks, MacBook Pros, iMacs, Mac Pros and Mac minis. The bundles are available with either Nova Development's Parallels Desktop for Mac or Apple's Boot Camp Public Beta.

Parallels Desktop is the first solution for Intel[R] processor-based Macs that enables users to run Microsoft Windows XP simultaneously in isolated "virtual machines" directly on a Mac OS X desktop, giving them the ability to use Windows programs at the same time as their favorite Mac applications.

Apple's Boot Camp Public Beta allows users to select at any time they restart their computer to run either Mac OS[R] X or Windows XP.

Apple announced the completion of their transition to the Intel processing platform in August and yesterday announced the new MacBook with the new Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

"We are the #1 U.S. direct marketing reseller of Apple computers because we are willing to go the extra mile for our customers, and offer extensive solutions for their needs," said Frank Khulusi, Chairman and CEO of PC Mall, Inc. "MacMall is the only large Mac direct marketing reseller we're aware of marketing bundles of Apple's new systems which come with pre-loaded software to work in both the Windows and Macintosh worlds as soon as they unpack their system."
