Parallels Desktop 12 for Mac Gives Mac Users More Windows Functionality
Parallels has been known for years making virtual machine software that allows Mac users to run a Windows instance on their Macs. As enterprises have opened up their support for Apple Mac users in addition to typical Windows systems, Macs have proliferated in common work environments. However inevitably, there’s “some app” that only runs on a Windows system where Mac users need the ability to run both a Mac and a Windows operating system, which has driven the ongoing demand for a solution like Parallels Desktop.
I’ve had an opportunity to work with the latest release of Parallels Desktop 12, and have found Parallels enhanced the latest edition with functionality that is making my cross-platform usage easier and better. I’ve been a Mac user for many years, and like with most Mac users, there are occasions when I have core business apps that require me to run Internet Explorer for a browser, or run Visual Studio for app development work, or even run Microsoft Project and Visio that just aren’t available on a Mac. And while Apple provides BootCamp where I can switch between booting from a Mac to booting as a Windows system, that means I have to constantly reboot my system to switch between operating platforms. So I’ve been a happy user of Parallels for years where I can run Windows and Mac applications side by side at the same time.
