When I make a call in the Windows version of Skype, it just fires up in the background, and I can then save the interview to my Dropbox and play it back using the macOS version of VLC. For example, I use MP3 Skype Recorder to record my telephone interviews. It’s also impressive how background Windows apps continue to work in Parallels. In other words, running the two operating systems side by side requires some re-programming of your muscle memory!

For instance, if you shake a Windows app’s window, all the other Windows apps minimize – as they do in Windows 10 – but the macOS apps remain in place. It can be confusing when you’re switching between apps to remember which has its buttons where.Īnd even in coherence mode, some Windows-specific features are retained that don’t apply to the Mac apps. Windows apps, for example, have their minimize/maximize/close buttons in the top right of the window, whereas macOS puts those in the top left. I can even assign as the default app for opening Jpeg files on the Mac and, when you right-click on images, the option to open with the Windows app appears. But running it in coherence mode, I can drag photos/screenshots into the window and make quick edits, saving them straight back to the Mac. My favorite, quick-and-dirty photo editing app is, for example, but there is no macOS version of it. You can drag and drop files into their windows, for example, and access native macOS files and folders. Those Windows apps running in coherence mode really do act like regular macOS apps. Indeed, if you’ve already bought the Windows license for a piece of software or game and don’t want to fork out for a new macOS version, this goes some way to offsetting the cost of Parallels/Windows itself. It’s in coherence mode that Parallels really shines, because it’s just like having macOS versions of those familiar Windows apps. In coherence mode, Windows apps appear just like regular macOS apps on the Mac desktop Barry Collins
