- Hi folks, Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 was released Thursday 8/13/15. Has anyone upgraded and does Parallels Desktop 10 for Mac still work? 10.10.5 fixes a lot of security holes, but need to make sure PD 10 keeps working.
- If you intend to upgrade to Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10), please note that Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac will NOT support OS X Yosemite (10.10). You will not be able to launch your Windows virtual machine or directly use your files through Parallels Desktop 8. Before you upgrade to OS X Yosemite, be sure to upgrade to Parallels Desktop 10 for Mac.

John has been using Parallels Desktop, solely for ArcGIS, since graduate school. It has been absolutely necessary for his work. Once he switched to Mac, he realized how well the Mac operating systems works and the quality of the hardware. Parallels Desktop has allowed John to continue to rely on Mac, while being able to use the most robust and longest-standing GIS software on the market.

In his own words:
“Since I started using Parallels, I have witnessed the improvements that the software has made and how it has kept up with changes in Apple’s hardware and operating systems. I am now director of GIS services for a small company. I encouraged the company to continue to use Mac for our GIS team and to use Parallels to bridge the Windows-Mac gap.”
Below is a screenshot example of how John uses Windows 10 as a virtual machine in Parallels Desktop to run ArcGIS on his Mac:
