[QUOTE="SammySlim, post: 613430, member: 48298"] Point is, you really can't go "wrong" with either. Both work great for typical uses, and some prefer one over the other. Although technically Fusion is more efficient, the Parallels interface is a reason some prefer it. As for the Boot Camp question, as indicated both will run using Windows installed on a boot camp partition, but certain features will not be available when running them that way. In either case, when you run virtual machines from a boot camp partition, they are still virtual machines; i.e., Windows is not running natively but virtually. If you want native operation, you need to reboot. But if that's important to you, both programs accomodate it. The suggestion to try both makes the most sense to me. I did it and figured out what I liked better within a couple of days. It was VERY EASY to install and then uninstall, etc. Not to worry. Even old guys like me can do it quickly! :) Cheers [/QUOTE]
