Just had a ping to let me know that Parallels 17 has been released and it's fully M1 compatible - It's still not entirely clear whether it emulates Windows x64 or if it's just the ARM version though.
They release a new version every year - I'm on their subscription programme and I downloaded Parallels 16 on the 11th August 2020 so it's been almost exactly a year.I paid £39.99 to renew Parallels in April and now they want another £39.99 to upgrade to 17, I find that a bit cheeky.
That's the bit that always makes me chuckle. If I were to run up a VM on an old version of Parallels and then look at all the claimed speed increases over the years, the new version should be able to open a VM before I've even clicked on it.They always seem to claim it's x% faster even back from the early days.
Yup, and that's why I mentioned emulation in the first postWe’re seeing the dividing line between virtualisation and emulation.
Yes, just turn off the integration within the Parallels configuration.is there a way to make parallels just totally independent of the mac os.
