 Incredible May 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I just can't understand how this program works! Both operating systems work together at the same time. I can work with both Windows and Mac programs on the same desktop! I can easily copy data from a program in one system and use it in a program from the other one. Both the Windows and Mac program bars are at the bottom of the screen. It's truly amazing!
The only draw back of the system is that when the Parallels program is active, it does slow down my operating system significantly. Not so much that I can't work, but it's noticeable. Still, it's nowhere near the difference in time it would take to restart my computer each time to switch operating systems. I wouldn't recommend the program to use with anything less than a 2GHz processor.

Works Great! May 14, 2008
It works great, but you may need to upgrade your ram if u have less than 1GB. It allows you to run any windows application at the same time as your mac application, you can turn your computer into windows, have windows as a window, or even have your dock and background stay the same, but add the windows start bar to the bottom.
 Parallels Works May 12, 2008
I am a dentist and I have this running my office managment softward on my Mac and it works great. It took some effort to install the Practice Management into Parallels-as a Mac user, I didn't realize how difficult it is to get set up on a Windows network. I had to get our IT guy to come in and take care of that. However, now that he has, it runs great. Just as I hoped.
 Work great! When it works... May 9, 2008

I use parallels pretty heavily. I work as a computer technician and there are certain things that just need to be done on a PC. Parallels makes this extremely easy. Before I had parallels I was using bootcamp and had to reboot every time. Parallels made it easy to take my bootcamp partition and run parallels on it.
The only problem is that after a couple weeks of it working perfectly... My Macbook Pro froze and I had to power it off. Parallels has no safety feature to prevent this type of thing from corrupting your bootcamp partition. Long story short, The complete windows partition didn't work anymore and I had to uninstall parallels, wipe out my Windows partition, and do it all over again. There are some tweaks you can use to protect yourself from this happening... but parallels didn't mention this at first. Since I spent the money I decided to stick with it, but in the middle of getting everything working again (which took me about 3 days of troubleshooting) I was very tempted to go with VMware, which does bootcamp differently so this doesn't happen. I have now been using parallels for close to a month, again working and running perfectly. I'm just always frightened that the crash will happen again. It feels fragile.
Awesome program! May 7, 2008

I use VMware at work to run Windows Server 2003 with our control system so when I saw this Parallels software I had to have it. I am currently running OSX as my main OS and Ubuntu & Windows as guest OS's. What an amazing tool this is, no more rebooting everytime you wish to change operating systems, it's as easy as using a media player to change between mp3 files. Great investment, not my copy of Vista isn't totally useless since I switched to MACbook Pro, and ubuntu is second only to OSX. The best of all worlds on your MAC.
