You can also select and launch individual Windows apps from this menu, rather than having to first launch the virtual machine and then locate the app that you want.There are two versions of Fusion currently available, and we're pleased to see that VMware still allows you to buy a straightforward licence for the software as a one-time purchase, rather than (pretty much) requiring a subscription as Parallels Desktop now does.The standard Fusion 11.5 will be the best option for most people, costing £71/$80 for a single-user licence. Parallels can now use Metal to improve its support for Microsoft's DirectX graphics technology in Windows, now supporting DirectX 11 along with DirectX 9 and 10. This software tool gives you a virtual machine and allows your Intel-based Mac to run operating systems such as Microsoft Windows and Linux alongside its macOS operating system. And as you don't need a lot of extra memory or processor power in order to run Windows, you may find that Wine can actually provide better performance than using a virtual machine (especially for games and graphics apps).Wine also gets very regular updates from a team of dedicated developers who provide the software for free, and this year's version 4.0 provides better support for Windows' Direct3D graphics, which should provide further improvements for running games and creative graphics apps.The downside is that Wine can be spectacularly confusing for beginners - to the point where we can only really recommend it to hobbyists who like a bit of a challenge.There is an alternative to Wine (but like Wine, it's not ready to run in Catalina yet).A company called CodeWeavers makes a special version of Wine for the Mac, that it calls Admittedly, CrossOver is still fairly complicated to use at first, but there's a 14-day trial version available so that you can try it out and see what sort of performance and compatibility it provides for your main Windows apps and games.
There are Linux and Windows versions of VirtualBox too, which allows you to use your virtual machines on many different types of computer (although you'll still need to pay for your own Windows licence to get started).The disadvantage of open-source software is that VirtualBox isn't as polished or easy to use as Parallels or Fusion. However, business users do need to pay £40/$50 for the VirtualBox Enterprise edition, and you may need to commit to buying 100 licences at a time, which pretty much rules it out for all but the largest businesses, or educational users who are prepared to tackle the free version.Assuming you aren't using Catalina (which doesn't support Wine right now) and if you don't mind rolling up your sleeves and getting your hands a bit dirty, then Wine is an unusual but feasible option for running Windows software on your Mac.Like VirtualBox, Wine is an open-source program that you can download for free. And, of course, there are all those A-List games that have never even glanced in the direction of us poor, forgotten Apple's solution to the Windows-compatibility conundrum is Boot Camp, which you can use by launching the Boot Camp Assistant app, located in the Utilities folder within your main Applications folder.The Boot Camp Assistant sets aside a chunk of your Mac's internal hard drive (or solid-state drive) so that you can install Windows on the drive alongside macOS itself. There's also Fusion Pro, which costs a hefty £141/$160, but includes many additional features for larger corporate users, such as the ability to work with VMWare's vSphere software for managing virtual servers.The company also makes a Windows counterpart to Fusion, called It's important to make a distinction between Boot Camp and the 'virtualisation' programs that we look at here, such as Parallels Desktop, VMWare Fusion and VirtualBox.Instead of creating a 'virtual machine' that allows you to run Mac and Windows apps together at the same time, Boot Camp is a 'dual-boot' system that simply allows you to 'boot' (start) your Mac using either the native macOS or Windows (but not both at the same time).When you run the Boot Camp Assistant on your Mac, it divides your Mac's hard disk or solid-state drive into two sections, called 'partitions'.
