    Parallels was great until they forced you to buy annual subscriptions and forced you to upgrade every time apple released a new version. I stopped using windows because was costing hundreds of dollars after few years. I setup a headless windows computer in a back room and use teamviewer to jump in and out for occasional windows only app. Costs nothing in subscriptions.
