Interestingly, Corel Corporation actually owns Parallels. Because they are under the same corporate umbrella, the integration between Parallels and CorelDRAW is exceptionally tight. In some cases, users report that running CorelDRAW through Parallels on a Mac feels even more stable than running it natively on a PC, as the VM is heavily optimized for graphic design workloads.
