Today,Parallels launched Parallels Desktop 11 for the Mac. Windows users on Apple hardware were given a taste of Windows 10 during theWindows Insider Preview with an update to Parallels 10. However, there werereports that the year old VMware wouldn’t be seeing another upgradeto enable full Windows 10 RTM usage. Instead, it looks like Parallels was working on a completely new solution in Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac.

The new editions of Parallels Desktop for Mac benefit from speed improvements of up to 50 percent, Travel Mode which extends battery life up to 25 percent while on the go, support for Windows 10 along with OS X® El Capitan readiness and a host of other features for both Windows and Mac users.

Alongside the speed and battery improvements, Mac users will continue to leverage Windows specific features, and in Windows 10 there are some pretty useful ones available. Ironically, Microsoft’s digital assistant Cortana will be enabled for Mac users before Apple’s Siri lands on the device. Other features available to Mac users using Parallels Desktop 11 include:

Similar to Windows, there are several pricing options, each based on available feature sets. Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac, Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac Pro Edition and Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac Business Edition are available now for both current and new Parallels Desktop for Mac users atwww.parallels.com/desktopand at local retail stores worldwide.
