Howdy. So, do you prefer Parallels or Fusion?

filosofer,

Welcome to SillyDog701 Message Centre.

I bought Parallels before Fusion was released.

I did try Fusion a bit, but it won't be fair for me to comment on Fusion as I don't have the same level of usage. Parallels works well for me.

Each one has its own advantages.

There's also VirtualBox, which is free and pretty good (and it's by far the best free option available. Though I didn't try the Mac version yet, the Linux and Windows versions had performance comparable to VMware).
