[QUOTE="MankyManning, post: 1298987, member: 215641"] I think that post is slightly misleading and possibly based on older versions of the products. I use VMs extensively on Macs and have each version of Parallels and Fusion and switched back and forth a few times. Parallels was a lot less stable at v4 but not so with later versions. I would regularly experience CPU issues with VMWare Fusion 3 that were never fully resolved through its whole lifetime. Others on their forums also experienced the same issues with no solutions. In comparison Parallels 6 was faster and more stable. I'll get both again in a few weeks, I'll wait until Parallels sort out their full screen issue with version 7 (should be the next patch for it) and until a few Fusion reviews appear. I know VMWare are the market leaders but I found they didn't pay that much attention to Fusion and they never answered any of my support queries. [/QUOTE]
