![]() ![]() Saw the YouTube folk give their input, spent the last few months organizing and transitioning off of 1Password to MacPass (KeePass on Windows) and trying out my hand at moving my virtual machines over to UTM from Intel Mac VMware fusion. When it was known that Parallels was fully rolling out Windows 11 on ARM, I waited a bit. Parallels has been my second choice - until this past week. Upgrade to version 13 was not a bad price for a one time fee. ![]() I have been slow to adopt M series, the M1 Max MBP became my entry point since November 2022 - got tired of waiting for M2 tech to roll up. Boot Camp has been excellent for total Windows immersion needs, but now we have this M series Mac transition. Someday Linux will likely be the final destination for total GUI love.įusion on the Mac has been my way to bring Windows programs closer. So yeah, i use both OS's for their best features. Start11 on Windows 11 is how I get Windows closer to my Mac workflow, and TotalFinder on the Mac (along with Path Finder) are addons to bring me closer to my fav Windows Finder experience. The Start menu has always been my jam, so I use uBar on the Mac to bring some Windows GUI love to my workflow. While I live mostly macOS, Windows 11 has come in a close second. Love my GPD MicroPC from 2018 and got a pair of Nreal Air glasses for portable screen use. I dig Apple MessagePad 2100s and use MacBook 12 inch model year 2017 for job site computing needs. ![]() So here I am, a user of both Intel and M series Macs. Parallels does not have a free version, so you have to pay for it.īoth of them are based now on the new macOS Virtualization framework, which is built by Apple at this point, they just add some integrations on top of it. And if you don't need their Pro version, just give it a try. It seems like VMWare fusion has a free version for personal use. Overall, I am sure they are very similar for regular users. So, they usually will be faster in shipping updates for their main product. Parallels' main business is just Parallels, which they sell for personal use and businesses. Building Fusion for regular customers is not their main business. VMWare' main business is business-to-business, shipping ESXi and virtualization for businesses. Meaning, if you are planning to invest in the license, long term, possible that something might not be ready by VMWare, comparing how Parallels ships their updates. So Parallels is a little bit ahead of the game in shipping their versions. If I remember correctly they released their version of arm64 a year after Parallels shipped their version. VMWare was pretty late in making a version of Fusion for macOS arm64. ![]()
