![]() ![]() I’ve never had a virus or malware in any of my Parallels VMs. All Internet access is through Chrome on the Mac. Internet Explorer is used only when necessary. Basically, my Windows VMs sit behind the Mac/Unix firewalls. Windows is also much more vulnerable to viruses and malware, so I never use Windows browsers for Internet access. Windows slows down as you install more software and data and this fills up the register. In Windows, every software installation has to be registered and every file is registered. There is no registry in Unix programs are simply executed. So, where is all my data? On the Mac side! The Mac OS is a Unix application and the Unix file system is much superior to Windows. I also prefer Mac Mail to Outlook-it’s much, much lighter. ![]() I don’t use MS Office on the Windows side, I prefer the Mac version. I still use Windows XP for my old Windows software. Recently, I’ve added a social network analysis package called Sentinel Visualizer to a Windows/Parallels Desktop VM. The only thing I run in Windows is analytics software like Statistica, Crystal Ball, KXEN (now SAP Infinite Insight), and Embarcadero Database Design Studio. I teach Big Data Analytics online at UC Irvine. I’m a data scientist, working with large and small data systems. I’ve been using Parallels Desktop for almost 10 years. ![]()
