    Tried to purchase this app in order to log into Office 365 for work. Unfortunately, this app and the upgraded windows costs did not make it past the security settings like a regular MS Windows laptop. The Parallels windows still shows Mac 365 settings. Spent 300 dollars for nothing. Love the Mac, but still need to travel with 2 laptops on vacations.
  • Interesting experiance

    I am always skeptical about paid products, but this is the best and most seamless experience I have every had with vm’s. It's crazy how fast and easy it was to set up ubuntu coming from the virtual box for silicon macs or UTM. totally worth the money.
  • If you're looking to game...
