Been using version 5 since March 2010. When I switched from a Pc to an iMac and didn't want to replace all my programs. This was the perfect answer a fantastic program, and it looks like V6 is even better. One (of three) options lets you open Windows just like another application on the Mac desktop which opens a Windows Start menu and off you go; So easy. I'm using it with Windows 7 (which I bought off Amazon) No reason now not to change to a Mac. (Be advised you do need a copy of Windows in order to use Parallels in the first place. It doesn't include this)

Cracking! 19 Dec 2010
Amazingly useful piece of software - no longer having to boot into Windows on my iMac to use a couple of pieces of Windows only software is a great time saver. I still use a Bootcamp partition but Parallels allows me to run Windows programmes direct from OSX as if it was running on the machine.

Nothing lacking! 31 Dec 2010
Having had excellent experience with Parallels 5 for Mac I decided to upgrade to v.6. Again, I can only say it is everything I expected. Highly recommended for those Windows program addicts who require their advantages on their Mac machines

Works well, but is a fairly shameless shakedown racket
Firstly, Parallels works well. I've used it to run IDEs for microcontrollers and fairly demanding USB-based data acquisition systems in both windows XP and windows 2k. Read more

It's complex, but the support will help you succeed
The competitor product is VMWare. VMWare is cheaper and I am sure works fine, but you MUST have the Windows DVD to transfer your windows to your Mac for example. Read more

It's OK but I prefer Fusion
Bought this for an iMac to compare against VM Ware Fusion.

Being able to test both systems side-by-side, I actually think Fusion was easier to use and faster. Read more
