Performance feature claims include boot speeds for Windows 8 and 10 VM to be twice as fast in comparison to the previous release, and opening Microsoft Excel spreadsheets as 20% faster. All these features contribute to make the Windows to Mac integration seamless. This works even when Windows 10 is not the front most application.

The ability to right-click an app in the Dock to see the most recently used documents or create a new document now works for Windows apps. Other Mac features added to Windows include: AirDrop, Spotlight searches, ability to use Mac location services inside Windows, and print within Windows using Mac OS X printer options. The same feature allows you to preview a document on the Windows desktop by selecting a document and depressing the spacebar. QuickLook is a Mac OS X feature that allows you to preview a document by selecting it and pressing the Spacebar.
To validate that a new VM would work with Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac Pro, an Ubuntu Linux 14.04 VM was successfully created and tested. All applications and the newest features, including the Microsoft assistant, Cortana, worked as before or as advertised. There were some quirks with my Windows 10 virtual machine (VM) that were resolved after updating Windows and a couple of reboots.
The update from Parallels Desktop 10 was seamless. In addition, Parallels fully supports Windows 10 as a guest OS, runs the widest array of OS virtual machines (VM) and supports large VMs up to 64GB of vRAM and 16 vCPUs per virtual machine. Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac Pro retains all of the product features included in Parallels Desktop 10 additionally adding more Mac features to Windows, as well as, for the first time, adding a Windows feature to OS X. This update comes closely behind the release of Windows 10 and just before the soon to be released Mac OS X El Capitan. Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac  is a recent update from Parallels Desktop 10.
