I use the "start a VM on boot" as the primary reason I use Parallels (I run VMs on a Mac Mini for my network such as DHCP and DNS). Right now that makes it easy to reboot, but without that, I'll find a different solution (likely a couple of Pi's). I also use it for a Linux VM on my main Mac, but I can use VirtualBox for that for as little as I use it. No reason to pay the money for 2 Pro licenses, especially since they've greatly increased the price. So I'll be cancelling my subscription when it expires. It's a shame because while there are other solutions, Parallels has nice add-ons, but it's no longer worth it. I will also add I did contact them to give feedback, and as is typical for these companies, it was a very rude form reply: > We confirm that this feature forms part of the list that will be removed in the next version. > This is official and has been mentioned in this KB article: [removed, see above for same link] > This decision cannot be reverted. > We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. > Thanking you in advance for your comprehension. > Have a nice day ahead. That reply is just extra motivation to cancel.
