anyone use parallels or vmware fusion for mac?
    #8577729 - 06/29/08 03:39 PM (15 years, 8 months ago)

So there's a few programs and games that I need to run windows for on my macbook pro I know I can do this free with bootcamp but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with either parallels or vmware fusion? I'm interested in these so I don't have to reboot every time I want to use a windows program. I'm not really sure what the difference between these is so if anyone has any experience with either I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

VMware fusion is better, but they're both pretty good. I use them at my work. Haven't tried games. Most programs work, but not all, which I guess would be similar to bootcamp for that matter.

I use parallels and find that it works flawlessly, even for weird programs that tend to cause issues on Windows machines (like activesync for Windows mobile, photoshop and graphing programs).

I don't game though.  Seems to me gaming might stretch resources a bit thin.
