Alludo announces Parallels Desktop 19 for Mac. The latest version of its powerful virtualization solution is optimized to the latest updates from Apple, offers a richer and smoother experience with a multipack of enhancements, and a redesigned app icon with refreshed user interface (UI).
Parallels Desktop 19 ensures users an exceptional experience with the highest industry standards, having recently received Microsoft’s authorization for running Windows 11 on Mac with Apple silicon and being certified as a Arm® SystemReady™ VE solution.
Parallels Desktop 19 for Mac offers:
- Enhanced macOS compatibility: Optimized for macOS Sonoma 14, all Windows users can now benefit from re-engineered Shared Printing via Internet Printing protocol (IPP) that supports printing from Windows apps out of the box. Plus, a richer experience enabled with dynamic resolution adjustments and familiar multitouch gestures with Trackpad support with macOS virtual machine (VM) on Mac with Apple silicon. Moreover, Pro Edition users can remotely access a macOS Sonoma 14 VM through port forwarding, particularly valuable when hosted on Amazon EC2 Mac cloud instances.
- NEW! Password-less sign-in with Touch ID integration: With easy to set up and a simplified daily sign-in routine, users with a secure Windows login and password can now use their Mac Touch ID to sign-in to Windows VMs.
