For those of us with Macs who were once Windows users, it’s easy to miss the old applications, games and, yes, even the interface. Rather than use special software, building a virtual machine or buying a new PC just to open up a Windows session again, you can use Parallels to seamlessly run a Windows or Linux desktop on your Mac.
There are no special tricks, no partitioning, no rebooting — and no reason not to try it: Right now at Cult of Mac Deals you can get Parallels for half off for $39.99. See below for more details.
In addition to making it easy to run Windows and Mac applications side by side, there are other attractive features to Parallels — you can make Windows invisible while using its apps, or run it as usual, access Microsoft’s virtual assistant Cortana, optimize performance for your particular use (gaming, coding, etc.), even use demanding apps like Windows Media Player and Access. Parallels is the legit way to run Windows on your Mac, along with all the applications you know and love.
Buy now: Get Parallels Desktop 11 for $39.99, that’s a full half off the usual price. All you have to do is enter the code PARBUNDLE at the time of purchase, and pick up another item of $39.99 or more. We’ve listed some suggestions below.
