Analysis
The premier solution for running Windows on Mac with near-native performance. Features like 'Coherence Mode' allow Windows apps to float on your Mac desktop as if they were native. However, its aggressive annual subscription and limited hardware allocation on the Standard tier (4 vCPUs) have frustrated power users.
