Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for computer power management. In one aspect, a method comprises determining whether a frame rate at a client device is greater than a predetermined threshold value, determining whether the frame rate has remained constant, when the frame rate is greater than the predetermined threshold value and when the frame rate has remained constant, activating a poll mode at the client device, otherwise: activating a push mode at the client device to preserve power at the server, and executing reception of content for display at the client device from the server according to the activated mode.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for emulation of a virtual application bookmark on a host desktop. When a user launches a VM (running Windows™), shortcuts to user applications are created on the desktop. In Parallels™ Desktop™, the VM shortcuts and MAC bookmarks can both be seen and be functional. A special file is created in MAC OS X with Windows™ icon. The file is associated with the VM from which the file was created, and resource link corresponding to the original shortcut. The bookmark thus contains a reference to an application icon in the VM, which the user can launch from the host OS by clicking on it.
