First off, what are these things, you might ask. Parallels has replaced Parallels Mobile with Parallels Access as of this version. I was pleased that the issue was documented and easy to see if I searched. In their defense, they notated this on their website and had sent emails that I must have missed. I use the windows side for some of the work that I do and that was frustrating to realize that I couldn't access Windows until I upgraded Parallels.

When Mavericks (10.9) comes out, I can upgrade my laptop without worrying that all of my Parallels Operating Systems will shut down. That was a frustration that I wanted to avoid. Apparently, Parallels Desktop 7 worked for Lion (10.7), but not Mountain Lion (10.8). The last time I upgraded my Mac, I had an issue because Parallels stopped working.

This is very nice and makes it much easier for me to update a file and know it will be pushed to Google Drive or Dropbox. This may seem like nothing, but I can access my Photo Stream, my iCloud Docs (which I don't use), and my Google Drive docs straight from my Windows machine without having to create shares and links or by installing and mirroring the same data on the Windows machine. Now my Dropbox and Google drive docs are available on the Windows machine. So, I downloaded the software and hit install. If I ever needed to re-install, then I will have to have it. I prefer to download as the CD will never survive in my house. I just popped in the Desktop 9 CD, then realized that they will let me download it. So, here's my review of the actual software. Hopefully, people reaching out and complaining will push them to re-visit their idea. I actually hope that others will buy Parallels 9 and then call, write, and chat with the support team to complain about the loss of Parallels Mobile and its replacement with a more expensive, but more functional version called Parallels Access.

The only issue that I have had is that sometimes after upgrading from a previous version, you will need to 're-authorize' your copy of Windows. But when coupled with an SSD the performance increases dramatically. On a conventional HD the performance is rather good. Mostly for sandboxing and testing, but the XP VM I have to keep running for some legacy software.

I currently maintain VM's for WinXP, Win7, Snow Leopard, Mavericks and Linux. OWC was offering a hefty discount when purchasing Parallels with an SSD so I opted to upgrade after all. But then I had a HD that was failing so I decided to replace it with an SSD.

When Yosemite was released I held off upgrading because I didn't want to pay the full upgrade price. But for the things that I just couldn't afford to replace, Parallels allow me to run them in a Win VM without a hitch.

Most of the applications I use are either supplied within OSX or I was able to find cost-effective equivalents. (~ 5 years) My big concern when switching to the Mac was.would I need to rebuy a lot of the software that I was using.
