There are certainly some extra considerations and hoops to jump through dealing with 2 operating systems. The Mac is a great machine, lots of power, great ergonomics, big 17" screen, nice for CAD if you're not at a desk all the time. Two days now with no crash!!! Hopefully that was it, again too many applications trying to control similar hardware. I tried lots of things in the VM config.ultimately turning off the graphics 3D acceleration in the VM. Native Windows on Arm apps flew along and even Intel apps behaved well. Our experience was that, subjectively, it was all simply a lot snappier.

Conveniently (maybe this is a benefit of the VM) it didn't destroy the cui files like it does when Windows crashes. Parallels will cheerfully trot out stats claiming the startup time of Windows 11 is 33 per cent up on Windows 10 on Arm with a 20 per cent disk performance boost. One note - after a lot of frustration: I had issues with Parallels flat out crashing in this new config - no warning, just working along and a fatal Parallels crash, usually withing 5 min of opening AC. I have a handful of LISP things I run and a fair amount of customization but nothing too power hungry. I'm not doing any 3D or big rendering operations (although I did try a little 3D rendering between bootcamp and a VM a year ago and performance difference appeared negligible). I know others have recommended bootcamp as the VM isn't stable and that makes sense, but I wanted to try myself. Absolutely smooth mouse, smooth zooms / pans, no issues. Aren't big hard drives great! So, not running the bootcamp partition at all, just clean Windows and AC2010 under a VM the performance for my purposes seems better than ever. I put Windows on as a true virtual machine under Parallels (4.0), and loaded my new AC2010 there.

Now.I just got my update to 2010 and it's a little science fair. I'm generally doing 2D stuff with lots of snaps, so I just learned to be gentle and it all worked fine for me. I fiddled with about everything and made it better, but never perfect under Parallels/Bootcamp.

Booting straight into Windows things were fine - actually this was my method if I knew I was just going to crank out some drawings and needed full power. Most frustrating was the mouse jumping to corners and triggering Mac stuff. Under Parallels I also experienced the "jumpy" mouse (certainly we're not talking about any type of snaps).
