[QUOTE="schweb, post: 1085932, member: 59"] I had used Parallels from version 2.0 to 5.0 so I spent a lot of time with them. It wasn't until Fusion 3.0 came out that I decided to give it a try. I immediately found Fusion to be more stable and less buggy than Parallels overall. I also like the overall design of the UI better, etc. As for speed, I'll agree Parallels was initially faster, but not to the point it really impacted what I was doing, but since the release of Fusion 3.1, they're pretty much equal. But the big key for me is the support for Fusion is much more responsive to issues, etc. This is most likely simply because VMWare is a much larger company with fortune 500 clients so they have a much more robust and mature support organization. Honestly, I think they're both decent, I just really prefer Fusion. [/QUOTE]
