Parallels Desktop makes it easy to run Windows and Mac applications simultaneously. Users can choose a theme that hides Windows applications without affecting their functionality, or keep the familiar Windows interface and controls on their Macs. If you need to run Windows programs without their Mac copies, or transfer data when switching from a PC to a Mac, Parallels Desktop provides full compatibility.
