Parallels Desktop for Mac Pro Edition

Overall Satisfaction with Parallels Desktop

Most of my work is on Apple only software but I have some software that is only available on Windows. Parallels allows me to have the best of both worlds.

I also love the fact I can sandbox an Apple OS and have multiple Windows installations including XP for some very dated serial software that doesn’t work after that.
  • Windows integration
  • Multiple operating systems
  • Sandboxing
  • Size of update installers
  • Has saved the company money by not having to invest in several machines
  • Updates for new Mac OS is superb which saves time and money when upgrading machines
  • Customers are always impressed when they see full control of all aspects of my work from one machine.
