Update 2/27/14 - Now I'm not so happy with the product and I'm looking for alternatives. I started getting a message every time I turned on Parallels that I'd have to upgrade to the new version in order for it to work with the latest Windows 7 update, so I bought it. Then a few weeks later, my Quicken 2011 started telling me that I had to upgrade to Quicken 2014 because that program was not going to be supported either. Then I began having problems with Parallels and Quicken not working properly, and I have spent days and several calls to Customer Support in order to get them working well enough to use. Quite disappointing after spending on Parallels 9, Quicken 2014, and Windows 7, and dealing with all the hassles of getting them to work together, just so I could do home accounting. There has to be a better way. I'm going to try Mint - a free web based program. Even if I have to give up some features, it may be worth it.
HUGE NOTE: If you get this product, it will take a toll on your memory, I recommend you buy (separately, 8 GB of Ram) its cheap to buy and easy to self install. ****ALSO, even with the extra RAM, i recommend that you download the app "iCleanMemory" from the Apple Store on your mac. --Its a Must have, what it does is optimizes your memory ensuring that you use a little as possible. Before when I ran PD I would have 5 or 6 GB of free memory, as soon as I ran PD, it went down to 1-2 (sometimes even less) of free memory. However, this app (read the reviews for yourself) is an amazing app, once I installed, I did the same scenario, except this time I used the app, hit the "optimized" button and it free up 4 & half GB's of ram! It was great! --Before i would have to restart my computer, just to free memory. The reason I spend so much time talking about this app is because I LOVE PD, but it does use a lot of memory, but with the "iCleanMemory" app, it puts your worries away...
Again, PD is an awesome product, make a very easy transition for a long time windows user like myself....
Great product! Works exactly like it should! Highly recommended! Run both OSX and Windows at the same time! Or even several different operating systems at the same time if you choose!
