Any OS that runs in Parallels Desktop will work in the iPad App. I can use any of my installations of Windows, a virtual copy of OS X, or Ubuntu. Parallels Mobile App running Windows 8 through Parallels Desktop 8Ī really slick Parallels Mobile app lets users log into their virtual operating systems and the host operating system with this new version. For Mac lovers who need to use a Windows app, Coherence Mode gives them the option while hiding the Windows OS. For Windows people getting used to a Mac, running the Window Mode full screen lets them go home to what they’re used to for a while. The three modes work well and give users some options how they want apps to behave.
For the rare time when I want to use Windows, I switch to Window Mode and run it full-screen on Mountain Lion. I prefer to use Coherence Mode since I’m usually only running one or maybe two Windows apps at a time. Modality Mode – runs in scalable windows allowing the user to monitor whats going on in a window while working in the Mac environment.Window Mode – runs the operating system in a single window and works best for those who stay in the OS for long periods of time before switching back to Mac.Coherence Mode – runs each Windows app in a single Window as if they’re Mac apps and only works with Windows.Coherence Mode puts a Windows Start Menu button on the Mac Men Bar
