Parallels Desktop for Engineers and Developers: How to Combine Mac and Windows for Efficient Work
News | 28.11.2025
We share a customer story about Jeremy Osborne — a developer and entrepreneur who was looking for an efficient way to run Windows applications on a Mac without losing performance. Previously, he used various solutions, but they did not allow him to work, test, and launch the necessary tools simultaneously. The solution was Parallels Desktop from Alludo, which combines Windows and Mac environments into a single workflow, improving development and testing efficiency.
Parallels Desktop: How Jeremy Osborne Unified Mac and Windows for Seamless Work
Software development often requires working across multiple operating systems simultaneously. For a Mac user, running Windows applications can be a real challenge: slow emulators, limited compatibility, and complex integration with the local file system. Jeremy Osborne faced exactly these issues when trying to test and run business applications without constantly switching between computers.
His goal was simple: maintain productivity on the Mac, access Windows applications, and integrate them into a familiar workflow. This is where Parallels Desktop became the key tool.
Engineering Challenge: Running Windows Apps on Mac Without Compromises
Jeremy had the following objectives:
- quickly run Windows applications without reducing Mac performance,
- seamlessly switch between macOS and Windows environments,
- ensure compatibility of programs for testing and development,
- maintain integration with the Mac file system and network,
- work on a single computer without additional hardware.
Previous virtualization programs did not provide the required speed and convenience. Jeremy needed a solution that combined performance, stability, and integration.
Parallels Desktop as the Solution
1. Fast Launch of Windows Applications
Parallels Desktop allowed Jeremy to run Windows applications without delays or performance issues. All Mac resources were used efficiently, resulting in a smooth, stress-free workflow.
2. macOS Integration
Windows programs run in Mac windows like regular applications. Drag & Drop between systems and access to shared folders made work more convenient and intuitive.
3. Multitasking and Testing
Jeremy could run multiple virtual machines and test different versions of Windows and applications without needing additional computers.
4. Easy Setup and Management
Parallels Desktop installs and configures quickly, provides ready-made Windows templates, and enables automatic updates and resource management.
“With Parallels Desktop, I can work on a Mac and test Windows applications without additional hardware. It significantly speeds up my workflow and allows me to stay productive all day.” — Jeremy Osborne.
