Supposedly Parallels "allows other operating systems to run within Mac OS in self-contained virtual machines". This is an outright lie and I am sorry I ever heard of this piece of garbage they call a program.
I want to be able to run a standalone self-contained windows desktop within my mac. Something that won't touch my mac install, and will be totally disposable, I can delete the VM file from my mac that that particular windows is gone without a trace.
Instead what I got was a magic windows "start" parallel button that lets me launch windows apps. Even when I exit that crap they call coherence to get the windows desktop in a window I wanted, I see my mac desktop on the windows desktop. It sure as hell doesn't seem standalone. To make matters worse they add parallels windows garbage all over my mac. There's a folder in my mission control, files all over. Do I have to reinstall my mac to clean the parallels crap from it?
I guess the only silver lining is I used a trial version so I'm not out $80, but I'm more upset about what this garbage has done to my mac than I would be about the money.
The reason I dumped windows is to get away from garbage apps that install worse than a virus, that's why I want self-contained windows in the first place. I sure as hell don't want an app like this that ties in all over the system. I'd rather just stick with boot camp and reinstall windows every few months.
