- Software is not particularly user-friendly.
Bottom line
- Great for getting you out of a bind, but performance is poor, particularly graphics performance.

This category of software includes utilities such as the excellent Parallels Desktop for Mac (full review here of the newest Parallels Desktop for Mac 13).
Pros
- Excellent performance.

- Lots of high-end features (such as the ability to take snapshots of the operating system as backup).
- Configures system settings based on how you plan on using Windows.
- Can access a Windows installation initially installed using Apple's Boot Camp software.
- Full support in the event of problems.

- When it works, it works very well.
Cons
- Far from perfect. Expect lots of bugs and issues.
- Patchy support for Windows applications.
- Fully unsupported -- if things go wrong, you're on your own.
Bottom line
- If the application you want to run is supported then taking this route can save you money, hassle, as well as precious disk space on your Mac.
