It works flawlessly, with one annoying exception.

This product was relatively easy to install on my rMBP, along with Windows 7. You have to buy your own copy of Windows ($99-$299 depending on version) as Parallels Desktop is merely a host for a foreign OS on MAC New versions of Parallels may not be immediately available when OS X changes versions.

Changes in OS X versions may require an upgrade to Parallels since the software uses very low level APIs and drivers whose nature may change when OS X changes. However, it grows the space as needed until the maximum designated.
The VM uses a significant amount of disk space (I've allocated up to 20GB for now). My MAC has 16GB of memory and I've allocated 4GB to the VM, so it never runs noticeably slow. This is annoying, but you can turn this off. OS X's Time Machine will warn you that the VM may run slow when it is doing a backup every time it runs a backup. If you give OS X and Windows access to each other's filesystems, you need to install a Windows antivirus program (such as NORTON) to keep a Windows virus from trashing your OS X filesystem.

If Windows has access to the OS X filesystem, then a full NORTON Antivirus scan will check both filesystems for viruses, trojans, spyware, etc. When you plug in a USB device you are asked if you want OS X or Windows to have it If you try to open (using "Open with") an Office file within the VM you will be asked if you want to use the MAC or Windows version of Office If you have an Office 365 Home subscription, you can have MS Office installed on both OS X and Windows - Offce 2011 on MAC and Office 2013 on Windows. The MAC can have complete access to the Windows File system A Parallels VM can have complete access to the MAC's file system There are still programs that only run on Windows (my Glucose Meter database is one) You can run individual Windows programs as if they were MAC programs with Parallels Coherence (a feature of Parallels Desktop). Parallels is currently only $67 on Amazon.
I haven't looked back.Ĭomplaints by other reviewers that Parallels only supports two versions previous to the current don't hold water as that is the same as Apple for OS X. Now I've migrated to Parallels Desktop 9 with Windows 7 and I love it. I only used it because it was what we used at work and the VMs were compatible between Widows and MAC. But It had a lot of problems and didn't use it much.
