Parallels Desktop: Run Windows on your Mac without rebooting
Parallels Desktop 8.0 is a program that allows you to run Windows and other operating systems within OS X on your Mac. With Parallels Desktop, you no longer have to choose between Mac or PC - you can have both.
Setting up Parallels Desktop is simple and quick. You can install Windows from a CD or an ISO image, and the program will guide you through the setup process. Once installed, you can easily switch between OS X and Windows, blurring the line between the two operating systems.
Parallels Desktop provides a virtual environment for running Windows, ensuring that any viruses or issues are contained within the virtual environment and do not affect your Mac. The program also offers features such as file sharing between OS X and Windows, the ability to use external devices, and Mac keyboard shortcuts in Windows.
Although Parallels Desktop may be slower than using Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac, the latest version has improved performance and convenience, making it easier than ever to switch between Windows and OS X.
