The only issue that I have had is that sometimes after upgrading from a previous version, you will need to "re-authorize" your copy of Windows. But when coupled with an SSD the performance increases dramatically. On a conventional HD the performance is rather good. Mostly for sandboxing and testing, but the XP VM I have to keep running for some legacy software. I currently maintain VM's for WinXP, Win7, Snow Leopard, Mavericks and Linux. OWC was offering a hefty discount when purchasing Parallels with an SSD so I opted to upgrade after all. But then I had a HD that was failing so I decided to replace it with an SSD. When Yosemite was released I held off upgrading because I didn't want to pay the full upgrade price. But for the things that I just couldn't afford to replace, Parallels allow me to run them in a Win VM without a hitch. ![]() Most of the applications I use are either supplied within OSX or I was able to find cost-effective equivalents. (~ 5 years) My big concern when switching to the Mac was.would I need to rebuy a lot of the software that I was using.
