With this latest release of Parallels Desktop, I now have the ability of “hiding desktop files” between platforms to tidy up my workspace, I can also very simply turn off my Mac sleep and screensaver functions without constantly having to change my System Preference settings. Unlike in the past where there was “some” integration between the Mac and Windows through the “Coherence mode” that allowed me to put Windows application icons on my Mac desktop, and allowed me to launch both Windows and Mac applications and toggle between them, there was still some quirky things that Coherence mode didn’t behave exactly as needed, or that desktop icons between Macs and Windows were merged together on both desktops polluting my workspace. 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.Ī few of the big things in this latest release is the seamless integration between my Mac and Windows. 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. 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. 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. 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. As enterprises have opened up their support for Apple Mac users in addition to typical Windows systems, Macs have proliferated in common work environments.
