What we would like to see in the next release.
Next Mac Os Release Date
Parallels 9 is arguably the best release yet of the Desktop for Mac series, but it’s not perfect. Besides the obvious – Perfect functionality in OS X Yosemite – In version 10 we hope that they actually remove some things. Specifically, the extra software installations and advertisements that are added at the time of installation. It was reported by several users that even if you specifically uncheck the applications that you do not want installed, it would still be loaded onto your Mac and started every time you would re-boot (most notably with the free six-month subscription to Parallels Access). Also, we would love to see improved customer support. It seems like ever since Parallels moved their customer support team to India, the quality of help has substantially decreased (especially at the product launch as their team seems unprepared to handle many of the most common support issues). We hope that this time around they will improve training or add more knowledgeable domestic support agents.
