I use VMWare Fusion to run Windows XP, Windows 2000, Ubuntu, and a few experimental OS's. Fusion is much better than parallels, uses RAM more efficiently.
Excellent
I use VMware for any OS I can think of and it never crashed. And it's fast too! Faster than Parallels anyway.
You can even use your existing Bootcamp partition with this, awesome!
This software is amazing.
What OS's are you using it with besides Windows?
I don't know what I would do without my VMWare. I can build all my machines on my mbp, then transfer them to my dev servers to test them out, it's the best!!
Agreed, I like Parallels, for the beginner it's likely better, but for power users, VM ware all the way.
VMWare Fusion is so much faster than Parallels.
I have compared VMware Fusion and Parallels Desktop when running Ubuntu Linux on my MacBook. The winner is VMware.
