Instead, let me jump straight to the point. Functionality, stability and, of course, the variety of the features and cross-platform interaction. I’m not going to take a lot of time to tell you why you should switch. So let’s do it! Read on for the instructions on how to convert your existing VirtualBox VM to Parallels Desktop. Now that I know, I decided to write a blog about it to make all the steps even clearer. It was then, while helping the customer, that I finally noticed the views count–wow, that’s a darn popular article! I hadn’t known how interesting this question is to our customers. For instance, recently, I helped a customer over the phone convert his virtual machine from VirtualBox to Parallels Desktop by simply going through the steps listed in the related KB article. While working with Parallels Desktop and helping our customers, I often go through our knowledgebase as the best source of product-related information.
