Ondrej Holzman Parallels has announced a new version of its virtualization tool for Mac that brings support for Windows 10. With Parallels Desktop 11, you can run OS X El Capitan on your Mac and Windows 10 at the same time, while the intelligent personal assistant Cortana can also be fully functional and always on, which is Redmond's version of Siri. However, it has not yet reached computers.
Parallels Desktop 11 is a virtualization tool that allows you to use two operating systems side by side - OS X El Capitan and Windows 10 - without the user having to restart the computer. So you can use a Mac app in one window and another Windows-only app in another.
The latest version of Parallels Desktop also brings Quick Look for Windows documents, Travel Mode temporarily shutting down demanding processes to extend battery life, location services for Windows applications and an easier upgrade from Windows 7 or 8.1.
In terms of performance, Parallels Desktop 11 is said to be 50% faster at boot or shutdown, with up to 15% longer battery life and up to 20% faster.
As part of a 14-day trial, you can try the new Parallels Desktop to see if it's worth paying $80 (just under 2 crowns). If you own Parallels Desktop 000, the upgrade will cost you only 9 dollars (50 crowns). Also available for $1 per year are Business and Pro editions with a faster 220GB of virtual RAM for each virtual machine and expanded 100-hour phone and email support.

Is the "only $50" a joke? I bought version 7 full blast, then thought I'd put the money into upgrading to version 9, but now I'm supposed to pay $50 again for version 11? $50 every two years sounds like quite a lot to me…
Unfortunately, you cannot upgrade from version 7 to version 11, only from version 9 or 10. If you have version 7, you need to buy the full version 11 for 80 dollars.
I'll correct myself: The Parallels website provides the information as I wrote above, but when running Parallels 7 or 8, the user is offered the option of upgrading to version 11 for 50 EUR. (For me it was exactly EUR 41,66 without VAT.)
but apple things are not for the poor
if you don't have it, buy something with Windows
anyway, it's better to use 1 system than 2, and it's not possible without windows...
Why wouldn't it work without Win? I have lived without them for several years and there is nothing I need them for.
Of course, it works without Windows, I use Parallels to run OS X 10.6, which I need for some old applications that no longer exist in the new versions, and do not work on the current version of OS X.
that is perhaps even worse than if you said that it is not possible without windows
the need to go to osX, the old osX :D this was the last time with windows... about 15 years ago, when xpc was released and it was decided that things from dos and 95/98 would work on it :)))
do you know that people on windows don't do these things at all? instead of playing around with fixing the problem, are they just working, or do they spend time weeding here with you in discussions? :D
If you are also wise, then tell me how to run the applications that a person needs, and which only run on OS X 10.6, and not on newer OS X?
Unfortunately, it exists for me.
VPNs supported by customers are Windows Only, unfortunately SAP is also deprecating the use of ActiveX :-(
But it's not that I'm not up to it. I'm rather annoyed that I have paid about 130 dollars up to this point (80 for the purchase and 50 for the upgrade to version 9) and after two years it can be said that I have to pay another 50 dollars. Already with Yosemite there were small problems with version 9, so I will not risk the combination with El Capitan. I understand paying for new features (Cortana, etc.), but it annoys me that one upgrades to a new OSX and the functionality is no longer guaranteed.
Otherwise, I already upgraded to version 11 (of course I succumbed again :) and at least I notice less CPU load if I don't do anything with programs in virtual, which is definitely a positive.
you see, you defended the purchase beautifully :)
the truth is that the most up-to-date is not always the best, see Windows 7 and the entire corporation that runs on it. however, as I said, Apple customers are trained to want the latest, because progress is progress and they must be on the cutting edge of technology (which is often funny, because it is often not true with Apple, that is, what concerns PCs)
after all, I won't write here that I'm an idiot.. :)
Hmm, I wanted the latest even though I was running on Windows, I'm not a ossified corporate :-)
Zbynďa is right, it's not about the 50 dollars, we all certainly have them, but about the principle. Why pay $50 for every version, every year, over and over again. When most programs work, you buy a lifetime license and get free upgrades. At least for a few versions at least. In this case, it seems to me that this is just the "pissing" of the creators. TeamViewer, for example, has similar practices. Interestingly, both companies are GmbH.
just kill apple users, it's a perfectly legitimate business decision. Apple users are notoriously picky, known for the fact that they easily pay extra and Apple products are mostly (with the great exceptions of the iPod) products with a fairly strong price/performance ratio... so why wouldn't they pay for software with the same ratio? :) I really wonder how much such a poor apple maker will spend on ntb, sw, and additional hw for his pet, to turn it into a tool that can be used at all :)
MBPr, iphone 5s, iPad, apple tv, mouse, keyboard, flashlights, airport extreme + 2x express.
In numbers, 65+17+23+4+1+1+1+5+4=121. Now only hw and only xo come to mind.
For music applications and movie rentals, I would say that I have already spent more than 10 since I have been with Apple.
thank you for the answer, although I was only interested in the cost of the production tool, i.e. let's say 65+1+1+1+5,, approx. 73 thousand, if you have some production software (probably you do, if you need ntb for 65 paper) and a license for the development environment is 6k, win if you use 7k, why waste a few thousand more.... I feel right when we get to 85 thousand +?
I know a lot of people who carry a laptop and develop on it, but I wonder about them myself, most of them I don't develop at the client's place, but either at home or in the office. for 85, a person comfortably has 2 desktops with higher working comfort (2 high-quality monitors, faster PC) and synchronization, and you need to manage git resi current environments
but today, many of the younger guys don't even build a PC to make it work properly, and they still have trouble :)
I'm not like that. I am a builder/designer. that's why I have such a laptop. it's better when I come to the client and we can solve some small changes immediately on the spot that I can immediately draw into the project. that's why I don't need a desktop computer. Of course, the iPad is absolutely perfect for that. cad can synchronize, so what I have in the book immediately appears on the iPad. and if I don't want to bring a laptop to the presentation, I can just present from the iPad via Apple TV. it just works beautifully with everything. with Windows and Android, I would definitely not achieve such a result, and if I did, it would definitely have a lot of limitations and failures.
And you don't pay for SW?

I upgraded 13.7 to 10, according to the conditions, the technology warranty is only from 30.7, that's a bummer:) But what, maybe a virtualbox would be enough for normal use...
I got a lite version of Win7, which after installation has around 3,5 GB and it runs everything I need and runs fast, compared to 20 GB with WIN 10, which I threw in the trash.

could you please post the isa name?
WHY USE PARALLERS when it's a bootcamp!!
I recommend a clean install of win 10
Because you don't have to reboot :) because you can work with several environments at the same time, because the Win backup is just copying the pvm file…
So let's sum it up. I will give approx. 3000€ for Apple products so that I can spend on Windows. Ok
so for some the computer is like a shovel (a tool)
for some it's a computer, just as for girls you need a handbag, a dress, or shoes for 30 thousand... just a status :]
that's how it should be with rolex and casio watches... the casio ones will measure time more accurately and will be a thousandth of the price, it's about why people want it. a person doesn't buy a Mac because it's a work tool with the best price/performance ratio, a Mac person wants to spend 16 years on it and pay his friends behind their backs
So, if you're right that babies can be packed on it, I won't buy a Think Pad, but an apple one. :-))
if you're interested in 16-year-old chicks as I write, definitely take the apple :)
I think older girls are interested in other things than what kind of computer a boy has ;)
You'd be surprised how many "older" girls look at what a guy has... gold diggers rules...
Or because it works...
but those windows too :)
Honestly, lately I've been seeing quite a lot of comments about people complaining that Apple isn't what it used to be, and that it doesn't really work anymore... that you need to tinker with it a lot to get it going...
a lot of 3rd party devices don't even run on a Mac because the drivers are made only for Windows, so I would say that it simply doesn't work 100% there..
I am a long-time user of the (satisfied) win system.. I have always had the highest demands on HW performance because I make music and sound. So at the time of the ATA disk, I had a SCSI disk array, etc. I'm connected really tightly with win, BUT after a couple of occasions of trying iOS toys (ipad, etc.) I gradually realized that I just don't do anything on OSX and IOS and it works. I left my Macbook Air with my wife for 4 years and I DID NOT touch it once and it just kept working. MIRACLE can only appear to win users. I am a lover of the Lenovo pro line W...unfortunately, I ran into a problem. for the same HW (slower), the Czech and German distribution of Lenovo wants more money than for a MacBook Pro 15. sorry... I also had a conversation with the director of Lenovo CR... (by the way, that's why Lenovo also has a problem with sales in the EU). So why not have a beautiful and durable computer instead of a black box (which I still love.. because it's a perfect IBM look). It's a matter of perspective.. I'm not a simple user, but a really demanding one... and that's why I went to Apple... not because I come to a cafe and women start saying how happy I have an apple (by the way, in an artificial black Lenovo-style case :) )... just EVERYONE we need something else... I now have a great machine with OSX but also WIN7 pro (which I still consider to be the best system from MS.
Good luck :) in playing games ... and I have a better Apple product :)
Basically I agree, but if this continues I will leave the mac platform. Because apple once won me over with functional, error-free software and top-notch hardware. But today? The cables break, the feet fall off, the software is full of errors, with each new version of OSX it gets slower... I'm really sorry, steve is definitely pissed somewhere in the grave...
that's quite logical. So OSX and WIN at the same time.. on OSX I run all music and sound software (perfect and without problems on Win) and in Win I test and edit the necessary things on the games I made. Otherwise, in my opinion, booting win under parallels is faster than on my lenovo w520 with two SSD disks. I don't know why but it's funny. The second is that it is nice for MY work that I have two monitors and one system runs on each and I switch unnoticed between both. I understand that OSX is incomprehensible to people with WIN only, but its stability and user-friendliness (Sheldon Cooper :) ) is simply a big advantage for me .. he also gave a very precise SW that theoretically should run equally on WIN and OSX and yet it doesn't :(. So... everyone can use what they want, but as a game board developer, I can really recommend this combination. ETS1..ETS2..Arma1 to 3 etc etc... :) cheers to that.
ps, it bothers me that parallels doesn't support a higher version of opengl... which clearly causes problems... but he says he will fix it in new versions... so we'll see
I take it from you, Mr. Matejka. What about people who are not developers? You yourself actually answered that they can play music under OSX, I will get on the net and write some documents.
I agree.. then ubuntu is probably the best choice, right? Non-developers... i.e. PC users as tools for viewing documents and the Internet can get by with a little... simply according to needs. Anyway, when I imagine my wife without OSX, I had to dig into her notebook for a month... and she's an ordinary user.. photos, movies, documents, emails, Skype, etc.. nothing that seems worldly and demanding, and yet it's OSX a clear choice (but I recognize that in this case it is more expensive than other solutions).
Your wife is Mr. Matejka. :-) By the way, I have two iPads and we also have two iPhones. I confess that I still haven't found a reason to use OSX.
I understand you. That's exactly what I said to myself before the transition :). Now I only join WIN involuntarily because of game development. NOTHING is perfect anyway... OSX is the same... so it really depends on the user's perspective and needs. :) So that everything works and above all that we are in peace and quiet :)
I agree with how you summed it up. I wish you all the best. :-)
I have Parallels 10. Win 10Pro in them. Upgrade from Win 8.1Pro. Without purchase P11. No hassles. I have programs that do not run on my Mac. therefore Win.
you can't defend it in front of kk anyway :)
I'll just say that I have Windows 10 and that's it
and now who has it easier? a person who has to deal with osX, (someone even knows the version of osX), parallels and other software that is becoming obsolete, and on top of that windows
or me, who only has windows? :)
but mainly that it works...
Was Radek Hulán released from Bohnice? :-)
Freelancers from Parallels continue to collect fuel.
Well, maybe you shouldn't use their sw, right?
so I have a Par v11 and I can say that the actual speed is better. it also seems to work better with a flashlight.. it actually seems faster to me (subjective impression from the previous version 10) ... the file makes me sad that OpenGL 2.1 is here again and not 3.0 and vejs ... maybe the gentlemen will hold their noses.
