The prog is too old, we now have macOS 14.xx.
A rather comfortable tool to use. It provides you access to other operating systems, which is sometimes needed. Still, to me, using this tool to get access to Windows, for example, just to be able to play some games sounds weird, as I doubt that the performance will be as fast as on a machine with Windows as the native OS.
