Overall Satisfaction with Parallels Desktop
I love my Mac, but there are a few programs where a PC is a must. A friend told me about Parallels Desktop and I am so thankful that he did! For mere pocket change I have a PC on my Mac and WAY BETTER than the old Boot Camp. It requires next to no setup or configuration. A few clicks and I have a PC to use when I need it and it is not even high overhead.
- Toad for SQL
- Microsoft Access
- Generally playing nice with my iMac.
- Windows 10 is awesome but 11 seems a bit off.
- It really is awesome all the way around!
- ROI was instant as Parallels Desktop is less than Mac's terminal program.
- ROI was instant again as Toad was not available on Mac at the time.
- MS Access is PC only and I did not have to buy a PC so...
