Parallels Desktop sets up Windows 8 in a virtual machine. This week I’m running the Parallels Desktop 9 trial. The problem is that switching between OS X, which is more productive for other tasks and Windows requires a reboot. There are minor keyboard weirdnesses, but otherwise, it works well.
Recently I ran Word 2013 on my Mac in a Windows 8 partition using Bootcamp. Not least the way the most naked screen option resets the moment you switch focus to a different window. The Mac Word 2011 version has a few annoyances. I still struggle with them. It does a great job of staying out-of-the-way and hiding complexity. When I switched to a MacBook last year, the thing I missed most was writing longer features in the Windows version of Microsoft Word. Hopefully, it will be more like Windows Word 2013 than OS X Word: 2011. Microsoft says a new Mac version of Word is coming later this year.
