Publisher's Description
From Parallels:
Parallels Desktop for Mac is the first solution that gives Apple users the ability to run Windows, Linux or any other operating system and their critical applications at the same time as Mac OS X on any Intel-powered iMac, Mac Mini, MacBook or MacBook Pro. Unlike dual-boot solutions, in which users must completely shut down Mac OS X and endure a full OS start-up cycle to access a important application, Parallels Desktop for Mac empowers users with the ability to run important Windows programs like Outlook, Access, Internet Explorer and all other applications without having to give up the usability and functionality of their Mac OS X machine even for a few minutes.

"Runs every program I need"
Version: Parallels Desktop 8.0.18314.813278
Pros
Computer: 8GB MacBook Pro 17" Core2Duo 2.66
Runs quickly, can watch video and listen to music.
I regularly use Office 2007 Live Meeting, Cisco simulation software, terminal serve into my server, etc. all with no problemsCons
Have to run some programs in XP SP3 mode from Win 7 or Win 8.
Seems to have a memory leak, i.e. keeps using more and more memory until all memory is in use and will not release the memory when shut down. Have to reboot the Mac every week or so to get my memory back.
As others have said a bit expensive if you have to have the latest and greatest. I buy updates at the end of cycle when they are $25-$30. This seems to work for me.
