Last week I became an Apple fan.
I purchased a Macbook Pro and I love it, I should have switched a long long time ago!
I have a question that the guys at the "Genious Bar" could not answer.
I presently have a demo version of Parallels installed on my mac, and it works well. I tried Bootcamp but didn't have good luck as my Windows XP install disk was SP1 only.
I then removed my Bootcamp partition and had Parallels install Windows XP for me. It went very well. I was able to activate my copy of Windows XP with no issues.
My Parallels trial is about the expire. And I am thinking about buying it.
However I was in the Apple store and saw they sold Fusion, and with the rebate it was $20 less then Parallels.
Here are my questions:
1) Which is better Fusion or Parallels?
2) Can Fusion install Windows XP SP1?
3) If I moved to Fusion would I have any trouble activting Windows XP again?
I am thinking I am better off keeping Parallels, it works for me, but I want to make sure I am not missing something with Fusion before ordering Parallels.
Any advice you can give would be appreciated.
