[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1184944, member: 190607"] I haven't see any comparison tests using Windows 7 yet, but here is a comparison test with Vista: Fusion vs. Parallels Benchmarks [url=http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.25/25.04/VMBenchmarks/index.html]Head-to-Head: Parallels Desktop for Mac vs. VMware Fusion[/url] Macworld magazine published an online article comparing options: [url=http://www.macworld.com/article/137305/2008/12/choosevm.html?lsrc=top_1]Choosing a virtualization application | Software | Editors' Notes | Macworld[/url] Another comparison article: [url=http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704140104575057251096106096.html?mod=djemptech]A Review of Software to Run Windows on a Mac - WSJ.com[/url] How to choose which virtualization program to go with: [url=http://gizmodo.com/5487242/how-to-run-windows-in-os-x-the-right-way]Gizmodo, the Gadget Guide[/url] I own Parallels, and I can tell you that their support is abysmal. But the product's performance and ease of use once you get things sorted out, are excellent. A very similar free option that you might want to try first: Sun's VirtualBox (Free) [url=http://www.virtualbox.org/]VirtualBox[/url] ___________________________________________ Randy B.
