Support for additional Mojave features, which are currently in development, will be tested, finalized and introduced around the forthcoming public release of Mojave. Quick Look issued on Windows files now shows quick actions. “Parallels Desktop 14 supports Dark Mode. Many preconfigured Touch Bar setshave been added to Parallels Desktop 14.” “Parallels Desktop 14 now enables customers to use Microsoft Ink to edit Microsoft Office for Windows documents on a Mac, including pressure-sensitive support in applications such as PowerPoint, Microsoft Edge, CorelDRAW, Fresh Paint, Leonardo, openCanvas and Photoshop for Windows.

Melting the Border between Windows and Mac.Newly created snapshots occupy up to 15 percent less disk space.” The new Free Up Disk Space dialog that suggests storage-saving actions now better handles multiple virtual machines. With two different storage mechanisms at work (Windows and Mac), newly engineered storage optimization that takes both Windows and Mac mechanisms into account can result in significant disk space savings.

“Typically, virtual machines are large, taking anywhere from 15–100 GB of space or more. This year, Parallels focused on these areas. Along the way, Parallels manages to introduce many new features that typically blur artificial, operational lines between macOS and Windows, improve launch times, optimize storage, and support the features of the forthcoming macOS in the fall. What’s New in PD14Įach year, in late August, Parallels introduces a new version for the Mac, in preparation for the impending release of the next version of macOS. Here’s a list of guest OSes that are supported. Historically, when the BSD UNIX subsystem of macOS won’t do, users of all types benefit from being able to run many different distributions of Linux as a VM. This allowed me to have Java running only during the writing project. This project involved installing Java 8 in order to run NetBeans 8.2. It’s wise to do a VM snapshot after each OS update.įor example, I used a macOS VM for an article I wrote about NetBeans. Another virtue of Parallels Desktop is that one can run a separate instance of macOS as a virtual machine, do isolated testing, create snapshots, return to documented snapshots if a problem arises, and install software that one may not want to install on the host macOS.
