Back in the day, that meant emulating Intel-based (x86) Windows on PowerPC-based Macs. I used Connectix Virtual PC, which was later purchased by Microsoft, back in the early days of OS X almost 20 years ago before moving on to more modern solutions like VMWare Fusion and then Parallels Desktop.Īnd anytime there’s a processor architecture change, these things get even more interesting. Virtualization has long been important on the Mac, primarily because of the app gap, a situation that is a lot less problematic today. Aside from the usual product updates, the big news this year was that Parallels had been featured in Apple’s M1 chipset reveal, and I was quite curious to know what that would look like.īut there’s a rich history to consider here.
I met (wait for it, virtually) with Parallels ahead of the launch of Parallels Desktop 16 this past fall, and before Apple shipped macOS Big Sur.
