Parallels Desktop 7 vs Fusion 4 - Full Screen Apps

[HoboNum99]

@wkharris does paralles reduce the fan noises when playing games?

Really great review, thanks.

can i assume that parallels menu for full screen in coherence mode is only there in lion, not, say snow leapord

[wkharris]

@nesportskid Parallels will run full screen in Snow Leopard as well, however the diagonal double ended full screen arrow is specific to Lion. When you run in full screen in SN, then the page will peel back from windows to SN via the upper left corner.

I got it! I downloaded VMWare Tools and that solved it. 

[wkharris]

@Oneking2 Awesome - That was one of the first things that came to mind that I was going to ask you. Both VMWARE and Parallels have their own optimized drivers and components that make the VM operate seamlessly with the Mac. - Good Job!

I cannot get my VMware Fusion 4 to go full screen. It still has the black lines on either side of the screen and I cannot get it to go full screen? I am running XP with Lion and using 4.1 VMware. Any help? Thank You; Scott

I can't get internet explorer to show up in launch pad.  It works with Word, Excel.

When I take explorer into unity, it disappears until I exit unity.

@PCGamer1999 Yes I saw that - thanks for pointing it out! It's neat to watch how both Parallels and VMWare continue to push their products.
