So why pay for an upgrade to Parallels 12? After reviewing the announcement materials and interviewing Parallels executives about the new release, I get the feeling that even they're struggling to offer a good reason.īesides the annual speed improvements for tasks like creating snapshots and suspending virtual machines, the first features mentioned in Parallels' announcement today won't make your virtual machines run any better.

By contrast, the upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 totally broke Coherence Mode in Parallels 10 last year, and Parallels decided not to update the then-year-old version of its software to fix it.

I've been running the Anniversary Update in Parallels 11, and it hasn't broken Coherence Mode. Today, the year-old Parallels Desktop 11 still fully supports Windows 10, even after the Anniversary Update recently pushed out by Microsoft. Without Coherence Mode, Windows applications are all contained in a single window that displays Microsoft's whole operating system. That's because Parallels 11 was the only version to support Windows 10 in Coherence Mode, which lets Windows applications run on a Mac in their own windows and integrate with the Mac's Notification Center. There was an obvious reason to upgrade to Parallels 11 last year for people who wanted to run Windows 10 on a Mac.

For that use case, last year's Parallels Desktop 11 release is still good enough.

While Parallels can run just about any operating system in a virtual machine, its primary purpose is letting Mac users run Windows applications.

Luckily, you use a Mac, and it knows how to use Windows TrueType fonts, so you can view that cantankerous Word file they way your Windows using colleague intended it to look. If you work in a cross-platform office, and have to open documents that were created on a Windows PC, in Microsoft Word for example, they donit always look the way you expect, and thatis probably because you donit have the right fonts.
