Description Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac is simply the #1 choice of customers to run Windows and Mac applications side-by-side, without rebooting. Powerful performance lets you run Windows productivity applications, even graphic intensive ones, with ease. Enjoy Lion and Mountain Lion features like Launchpad in Windows applications. Access your Windows and Mac apps from your iPad and iPhone with the Parallels Mobile3 app. Overview: Great way to run Windows on my MacBook Air (mid-2011), as well as my Mac Mini at work. Complete integration means I can move files between platforms, open Windows applications from OS X (Mountain Lion in my case) and vice versa. I can set application preferences for file types across platforms. And you can run Windows in it's own Window or integrate it into the Mac workspace. Installation was very easy, no problems at all. Highly recommended.

I'm not a big fan of Windows 8 but I need it for work.I'm seriously impressed by this virtualization. I've done virtualization in the past (virtual linux and such) but let me tell you this is something else, especially in Coherence mode.If I had known Mac + Parallels + Windows could work like this, I would have made the switch years ago. I run Parallels on a MacBook Pro with Windows XP, Windows 7, and Linux virtual machines. Parallels 8 performs very well with all of these, and I really appreciate the ability to drag and drop files between the Windows virtual machines, as well as the drag and drop for Linux virtual machines.Also, the installation process was an absolute snap!
