Parallel Desktop 13 brings with it the Mac Touch Bar feature which is integrated into a range of Windows offerings such as Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint plus browsers that include Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome. Not content with providing Windows users with a doorway into the world of Mac, Parallels has added some extra features as if to celebrate this symbiotic joining together of the two competitors.

The Parallels solution, now up to version 13, is currently available as Parallels Desktop Pro Edition. That is until Parallels came along with a solution that would allow Windows to operate on a Mac-based environment running the wall-gardened MacOS software. Put them in the same environment and you might expect conflicts to occur as they battled for dominance. Windows and MacOS are two computer operating systems that you could hardly call the “best of friends”.
