    Really easy to use and follow instructions to install other operating systems on your computer. Worst part is entering the long security code to verify.

    If you use Windows and OS X this helps you bridge the gap. The best part is being able to use OS X keyboard shortcuts in Windows.

    I used to use bootcamp a long time ago, i miss that. I hate paralells it's slow, but everyeone prefers it over bootcamp, booting right into windows and not being able to use OSX operating system. You have to reboot, but so what, it's so quick starting up a mac.

    I had to take my Mac to the Apple store and even they had issues getting this product to download but they eventually got both the Parallel's and the Windows to download. The salesperson stated when I bought these 2 products that it would be easy but it was not.
