Good software but subscription is too expensive
Overall, the software is pretty good. You can watch videos without a problem and access my mac's hard drive (and plugged in storage) as a network drive. There are some bugs that make it hard to use like: -clicking anything in Windows 7 near the top of the screen is nearly impossible. The OS X menu appears when your mouse hits the top of the screen thereby covering whatever you were trying to click -On a Macbook Pro with Retina display, many of the windows are horribly distorted and have extremely small font. This probably isn't a problem for other displays PLEASE BE AWARE- you are basically buying this software as a subscription. A new version comes out EVERY year (for around the same price) and the previous version is no longer maintained/updated/supported. My parallels desktop 8 mac still has plenty of bugs that they will NEVER fix unless you buy the new version. When OS X updates are around half as much, I find this very frustrating and dishonest. They should at least sell it as a subscription... I am using this software on a mid 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 15" 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 2.7GHz
