Parallels is too good
Parallels is too good. I was first confused with desktop-sharing with Mac.This can be because I was a user of old version of fusion, which is not compatible with M1 nor M2 stone bearing Mac. I am all right to pay USD100 for parallels but not for Windows OS. Can we continue to use Windows OS without paying to them?

It is destroyed! I wasted my money on you guys.
It won't open and if I do, it's completely lagged and screens are cut in half and some weird colorful lines!

After 25 years of a Windows PC I got a MAC because of all the problems related to PC's. But, I mainly use Excel and Word and the numbers and pages on my MAC are not near as user friendly so Parallels helped me to add Excel and Word to my MAC. Now I have the best of both worlds.

Love it!
I love how easy Parallels makes it for me to switch between operating systems. It's so seamless that it's hard to believe I'm on the same computer! It has simplified my workflow a lot as all my files are accessible whether I'm on the Mac or Windows side. Highly recommend.

Love the parallels program as it has made it possible to save us so much money
Love the parallels program as it has allowed me for the first time to go from 2 computers to one. My husband runs an accounting program that only works on pc/windows but we have a Mac computer. Now we can interact with just one click between the two platforms. I am so thrilled we made the change.

No worries
Parallels deals with the challenges of running Windows-based applications on a Mac. It works great with the M1 Pro CPU. So fast and seamless.

Parallels saved my experience with the Apple M2. Dual boot is no longer an option. Parallels came to the rescue and it is better than dual boot. Now I run my second operating OS from a window on my Mac screen. And it is the latest version of the other operating system. Wow!
