Parallels 17 is out the door, and its features list looks spiffy.
Here’s what’s in store according to 9to5Mac:
Software doesn’t stand still and neither do the operating systems. macOS Monterey and Windows 11 will be coming sooner than later and Parallels 17 is ready for them both as a host and a guest. If you need to start testing macOS Monterey for your job but are not ready to run it full time, Parallels 17 lets you run it in a virtual machine today. Parallels worked closely with Apple to optimize the experience of running macOS Monterey in a virtual machine. Parallels 17 shows noticeable speed improvements across the board. Resuming an OS is now 38 percent faster and OpenGL performs up to six times faster. Apple Silicon Macs report over a 20 percent performance boost with Windows 10 boot time, improved disk performance, and enhanced DirectX11 support.
Parallels 17 can be downloaded to be used in a 14-day free trial. Upgrade pricing starts at $49.99 and new licenses start at $99.99. Subscription licenses start at $79.99 and ensure you always have the latest version at a discount from the retail price.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
