THE PROOF

"It's been possible to run Microsoft Windows on Intel-based Macs for several years now, albeit with varying degrees of ease and performance. In my experience, the most convenient way is through third-party software called Parallels, which has just launched a fresh and improved version that seamlessly works with Apple's OS X Lion operating system." - USA TODAY "Parallels Desktop 8, the latest version of Parallels Inc.'s Windows-in-a-Mac software, successfully navigated my little torture test with nary a hiccup. There's no better solution for Mac users who want Windows compatibility…" - Bloomberg BusinessWeek "There are a lot of new features in Parallels Desktop 8, and the folks at Parallels gave me a first-hand demonstration of many of them. The speed of the new Parallels version running Windows 8 in a virtual machine was impressive, as Windows programs running on the Mac desktop (Coherence mode) were as fast as native Mac programs." - ZDNet
