 Great with Widows, not so hot for Linux, 2008-05-25
I have a 17" MacBook Pro, but I need Windows XP Pro for some work tasks. Parallels gives me access to what I need with extreme simplicity. All my Windows programs have worked better running Parallels on OS X Leopard than they did on native XP. It also comes with a pretty good printed manual. The only downside to Parallels is if you want to install Linux. According to the manual, Ubuntu Linux is supported, but despite the ease of installing it, as of now, I've been unable to get it to run, that's why it's a 3 star program instead of 5.
 The best of both worlds!, 2008-05-22
With Parallels installed on my Mac, I can run any program I want! Soo, I have all the great features of a Mac, but when I need to run a program that is only PC based, I now can with Parallels.

Incredible, 2008-05-21
I just can't understand how this program works! Both operating systems work together at the same time. I can work with both Windows and Mac programs on the same desktop! I can easily copy data from a program in one system and use it in a program from the other one. Both the Windows and Mac program bars are at the bottom of the screen. It's truly amazing!
The only draw back of the system is that when the Parallels program is active, it does slow down my operating system significantly. Not so much that I can't work, but it's noticeable. Still, it's nowhere near the difference in time it would take to restart my computer each time to switch operating systems. I wouldn't recommend the program to use with anything less than a 2GHz processor.

Works Great!, 2008-05-14
It works great, but you may need to upgrade your ram if u have less than 1GB. It allows you to run any windows application at the same time as your mac application, you can turn your computer into windows, have windows as a window, or even have your dock and background stay the same, but add the windows start bar to the bottom.
Parallels Works, 2008-05-12
I am a dentist and I have this running my office managment softward on my Mac and it works great. It took some effort to install the Practice Management into Parallels-as a Mac user, I didn't realize how difficult it is to get set up on a Windows network. I had to get our IT guy to come in and take care of that. However, now that he has, it runs great. Just as I hoped.
