I recently bought a copy of Windows 8, Microsoft Office 2013 and Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac.

Installing Office 365 For Mac

I wanted to install a Windows partition on my Mac so that I could run MS Office 2013 on a virtual machine.

I set up the VM, and everything was looking fine and worked smoothly.

Then, when I inserted the MS Office 2013 disk into the CD drive, nothing happened!

I tried to install MS Office 2013 but to no avail.

Does anyone know how to overcome this issue?

Thanks.

Performance Improvements

Some performance improvements include faster VM suspension with high RAM VMs suspension up to 60% faster. Creating snapshots, saved states of the VM that you can revert back, are 90% faster. In addition, VMs are more responsive when your Mac is low on free memory. Benchmark of Visual Studio project compilation on shared folders demonstrated a 25% improvement. All these performance improvements are great news for the developer.

Virtual Machine (VM) Features

Parallels Desktop 12has a number of VM management and control features such as the VM backup solution which includes a one-year subscription to Acronis True Image 500 GB cloud backup storage. You are able to perform incremental backups as well as instant updates when changes are made. In MacOS Sierra, you will be able to manage VM storage space from Optimized Storage. In addition, the Pro Edition of Desktop 12 allows setting of VM resource usage limits and archival of VMs to save space. There is also a way to cancel time-consuming VM actions and improved retina support for resizing Windows VMs. The Pro Edition includes Network Conditioner, which has preconfigured network profiles allowing quick and easy network configurations.

For Windows VM OS update management, Desktop 12 allows scheduling to avoid time-consuming disruptions during your workday. Other Windows VM features include: storage of Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer passwords in Mac keychains, ability to open documents from Sharepoint and Office 365 in Microsoft Office for Windows desktop applications directly from Mac browsers, keep Windows running in the background to allow instant opening of Windows applications and documents, and Outlook for Windows has access to recently accessed documents to attach to emails. The ability to assign special behaviors to Windows Apps, such as, Always Open Full Screen or Always Hide Other Apps, allows the user to customize their desktop to their own preferences.

Gaming

Parallels Desktop 12 for Macunderstands the adage about all work and no play. For the gamers, there is support for Blizzard Entertainment Overwatch PC game. For streaming and playing Xbox games on the Mac, there is support for Windows 10 Xbox app.

Parallels Desktop 12 for Mac Pro Editionis a major upgrade with many features that its target user of developers, web and graphic designers, power users, and other demanding pros, will find extremely useful. The Parallels Toolbox App is a must have for any user wanting a one-click solution to common tasks. Again, Parallels has managed to take this application to a new level. I can’t wait to see the new features in next year’s release.

MyMac Review Rating is 10 out of 10.
