No option to use this withoout setting up an account.

...and I'm over all the account tracking. This was a great app before they pulled this nonsense. Deleting it. I'll just get a PC instead.

Seemless, perfect solution for M1 and M2 chips.

Very smooth set-up procedures and works exactly as advertised. While I wish it didn't have such a steep price, I understand the value its adding and can't complain. Thanks!

So Good that VMware doesnt stand a chance in comparison

It can run any OS like it's just another app on your Mac but what impresses me the most is how Parallels beautifully integrates ease of use, customizability and Powerful features. I bought the non-desktop Pro version because I wanted MacOS virtualization as well. For me the best part is Accessibility features since I have vision issues. I tried VMware Fusion and it doesnt even stand a chance agaisnt Parallels

poorly designed way over priced

too much guessing in the installation of this app and with all the other negative reviews on this software plus the price let alone the poor design of this app, I say its not worth the price nor effort.
