We're spotlighting one such user, Trey McIntyre, who has a Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering from Binghamton University. Trey utilizes his creative passion for designing quality and functional prosthetics at a price that enables widespread availability for anyone in need. His career goal is to make meaningful contributions to the healthcare sphere by designing medical devices that positively impact people's lives.
Trey also loves macOS®. 'I am a Mac user through and through, always have been and always will be,' he says. 'Your software makes it extremely enjoyable to use Windows when I absolutely have to.'
Trey utilizes Parallels Desktop to run a Windows 10 virtual machine, which allows him to create with Autodesk Inventor Professional 2019.
Trey didn't always use Parallels Desktop to run Windows on Mac. He started with other virtualization competitors but found that the performance wasn't exactly what he was looking for.
'Parallels Desktop has a well thought-out user experience/interface and is a much better product, holistically, than competitor VM software. Parallels Toolbox is awesome, too! Keep up the great work. You've stolen another customer from VMware!'
We're so thankful for users like Trey who took the time to research other options and ended up with our product as their golden solution. The secret to our success lies with our incredible users who accomplish the unexpected every day, running Windows, Linux, and other popular OSes on their Mac without rebooting.
If you're like Trey and need to run Windows-specific software on macOS, we encourage you to try a free 14-day trial of Parallels Desktop and get started with virtualization today.
