Which are you using for your virtualization needs? I used to use Fusion up until 2 days ago when I finally gave Parallels a trial run. Now I wish I had switched to Parallels sooner.
-
Parallels had major issues vs VMWare... up until version 6, then they passed up VMware and VMWare is currently playing catch up.
-
I've had Fusion 2.0 but then after hearing the good stories and seeing screen shots of some of the people using parallels I switched to Parallels 5.0... and now I'm at 6.0 and still love it. I've not even considered returning back to vmware.
*there is alot of good info in one of the stickies -
i use fusion 3.0 because it does exactly what i need it to do. i also know that support (if ever needed), is going to be worth the time invested.
-
the only support for fusion was via their forums or you could pay for email support. You could create tickets and they will email you back but when I did that about a fusion compatibility problem with 64 bit thin print spooler service errors they told me to contact MS...which I did... they pointed back to vmware. I deleted the print spool service...eventually moved back to xp 32 bit just so I could print. Then switching to parallels and never looking back.
*actually, parallels might be the same way regarding support, but I've not had to find out yet.
But that was way back on fusion 2 and before win 7. -
+1 and +rep for doh123 -
masterchef341 The guy from The Notebook
even recently, i've tried both and prefer vmware. seems more stable.
-
I have both products and Parallel 6 is the better product imho. Their GPU emulation is far superior to what Fusion offers and I haven't notice any stability issues running Win 7 64.
Fusion or Parallels?
