Or were they just forced to not have function keys? So how did people use the function keys in the windows applications before this on the Macbook Pros released 2 years ago. ( This is all part of a strategy to force customers into their yearly subscription model. I also wish they would stop removing power user features with each new release: "According to our latest research, Parallels Desktop 13 for Mac works stable on macOS 10.14 Mojave with no major issues."Īnd it's actually possible to run Parallel Desktop 12 as long as you avoid APFS drives including system drives (not easy but possible). To my ever-lovin' surprise, Parallels actually says 13 should work fine on Mojave: I'm going to keep an eye on this for Mojave because if Parallels 13 actually runs fine with no major compatibility issues, I'll ignore the upgrade. When that is the case, it is possible to ignore the upgrade, as I have a few times. Sometimes that doesn't mean it's a requirement, you just get a few new conveniences. One thing I will watch out for: Parallels always markets real hard that you need to upgrade for "support" of the next macOS. Last time I checked it was still a single user, single computer license. I'm no fan of Parallels' "Apple changed a line of code in macOS, let's charge another $50" policy, but I tried using VirtualBox but for whatever reason the performance was not as good.Īlso, it is irritating that Parallels is one of the few holdouts that does not allow you to run the application on at least two Macs.

When I don't need to do that, it gives me the freedom to shut down Windows and use macOS for the rest of the day.īut yes, another advantage is the ease of backing out of Windows should a disaster occur.

This effectively limits one's exposure to Windows. ![]() There are plenty of custom or niche business apps that run only on windows.īest way to run those is on an as-needed basis in MacOS, on a safely quarantined VM. ![]()
