[QUOTE="SammySlim, post: 724373, member: 48298"] Definitely download the trial versions and play with them. You didn't specify what you were planning on running, but I think that as far as running Windows XP or Vista, the two are essentially the same. Different user interfaces, different aspects appeal to different folks, but its really a style pick between them. I think a slight majority of people on the forum have an equally slight preference for the Parallels interface but others prefer Fusion (like me, after trying both). If you are planning on working with any other operating systems, doing development, stuff like that - VMWare has more tools and it's appliance library is very impressive. I am using it to run XP and 3 different Linux versions just for kicks ... :) Cheers [/QUOTE]
