Parallels is good. I have on the iMac and the missus has it on the MacBook. You can put it into a mode where the OS X and Windows desktops are intermingled together in a way that is completely bewildering so you don't know what button you're clicking in which OS. Great feature?! It's about $130/year for the pro version. I had pro for 4 years but cancelled renewal when I realised I was using none of the pro features. I look forward to it expiring and all the VMs breaking for some hidden reason. Coincidentally, this morning I tried to share the Parallels folder on the iMac so I could copy the VM files from it to a Windows backup folder. Well, 40 minutes later after following all the instructions, I get stuck at the Windows password prompt to access the shared iMac. I try every user and password in Christendom and they all fail. I give up. *Greg K* >
