[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1524369, member: 131855"] I have not used Parallels in some times though I was reasonably happy with it at the time. I have minimal needs for running Windows at all (one website needed for work) so both have run well for me. My main reason for switching was finding a good deal on Fusion and then finding a similar deal on a second license a few days later. There are a number of comparisons on the web and you might find [URL="http://www.macworld.com/article/2010694/review-parallels-desktop-8-vs-vmware-fusion-5.html"]this one[/URL] useful. Fusion 5 still supports XP as well. I believe both versions have free trials. Also, unless something has changed recently if you start with one program and then decide to switch you can migrate the existing virtual machine rather than starting over. Shift the virtual machine from say Parallels to Fusion or vice versa. [/QUOTE]
