Ever since I’ve gotten my Mac, I’ve been running Parallels on it in order to get to the Windows-side of things. It’s been running smoothly for the most part with very little hiccups. I’ve been quite satisfied with it.
But everybody kept telling me that VMware Fusion was better. VMware Fusion is another program that allows for Windows virtualization on the Mac, and just today, I finally got around to testing it out.
VMware Fusion is better. Not by a whole lot, but it’s definitely more configurable and surprisingly easier to set up (Parallels was easy already, so you can imagine what little effort went into setting up VMware Fusion to run Windows XP).
Anyway, between the two, I would probably now recommend Fusion, just as my friends had done the same to me. So if you’re looking for a way to run another operating system on your Mac (not just Windows), VMware Fusion is your best bet.
