Macbook Pro - Parallels vs VMWare Fusion

[cjvon]

I have VMware fusion but it tend to legs or stall the laptop for a few minutes bfore working again. Then that again it is unstable. I am not sure what is wrong or should i change to parallel.

[deepsukhwani]

Slap the email sender!

[h1chaosss]

can you play games in vmware fusion as if you were using Windows 7?

[tchand90]

@h1chaosss yup :)

[IKnowMac1]

VMware is the best

[A7llaman]

Parallels

[sxayaxang]

hey what if my mac g5 does not have bootcamp how can i do to instal windows in my mac

[GamerFlux]

@sxayaxang PPC Macs cannot run Windows at all. Only intel Macs.

[Porojukaha]

My great idea is to boycott kia because of their stupid ass commercials

[lanswipe]

@Porojukaha seven is definately more than threee

[stargirl13n1]

Lmfao "wohooo im in tv" ..."i know" LMFAO

[Blu0tuth0ninja]

you need new cam plz.

[AllTheBestTutorials]

@Blu0tuth0ninja he has better quality. go check out his new videos

[okamimoushiyou]

"Performance wise, it blows..." "...parallels out of the water"

When I heard that I flipped :P until I heard the next couple words hehe

oooo and does anybody know....HOWWWW DO I GET MY INTERNET CONNECTION FROM MY MAC OVER TO MY VIRTUAL MACHINE! I have Windows 7 on it and it gives the choice of some crappy house, public, or business thing, but not the connection I have for my mac, I tried to connect it and it said there was some error.......HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­LP PLEAAAAAAAAAAAASEE! :(

[cienciasmedicas]

VMware it's the worst virtual machine ever!! Lot of bugs, unstable, very slow and cmd + c/ cmd + v don't work after some time using this shit...

at ortherside Parallels it's a waaaaaayyyy better much more stable and faster

[Athos523]

@cienciasmedicas Parallels was pretty crappy around the time he made this. Apple Gurus at Apple suggested to use VMware or Bootcamp. But yes, Parallels is a lot better now.

[MrCalvinGu]

You make really bad videos!

You don't even look in the camera!

You should take a look at SoldiersKnowsBest!

[urmomowns]

@GTAMenn2 and when did he say that? Because Windows was the operating system of apple computers until Bill went to the other companies and decided to make some extra profits.

[GDXD64]

kind of ironic with the dell commercial

[Scarlatch]

I have a Mac, and I use VMWare Fusion.

[tr763]

i have a mac and their for stupid people

[imtegreat]

hey.. i noticed the date is 15/aug/2007... there are now newer versions of Fusion, and Parallels now.. which would you suggest??

[miguel2wwe]

boot camp comes with os x !!! u dont have to buy oit

[userryn2091]

Idiot, you don't buy bootcamp. It comes free with a Mac.

[L0stC1ty]

I'm talking old models retards.

[NixKah]

just make sure, does Copy&Paste work across OSes ?

[xjod9]

As in virtual machines? Like, im running Windows Vista as primary, and then i copy a file and paste it into a VM with XP?

No, you can't do that.

[NixKah]

ok thankyou

[TechSmack]

i am a fanboy LOL whats wrong with it?

[stylzbzb]

i totally agree vmware is diff. the winner when it comes to running windows on mac os x i have run both softwares and parallels always seems to have some problems setting up vmware and running windows 7 is effortless yeah and i hate vista to waste of a partition keep up the good work

[garciab006]

Huh?

[AhYaOk]

fusions going to be even more awesome when im rocking 8G's of ram on my mbp. if only the price of the memory would drop to a reasonable price....

[Tokiopopski]

Hahah, same situation as me :P

[m0tionlessskull]

@Keydo7 me too, many ppl say, ye Windows is allot easier to use.

I always reply: use mac only, for a week and you never go back

[Kev0n05]

@Keydo7 same with me...I got macbook pro from Full Sail University. I sold my PC Studio and now i'm 100% mac...

[j800r]

@Keydo7 same. except i only got my iMac very recently

[Croriderjunior]

@Keydo7

me to!

[FiLdUbz]

anyone know if XP Black will virtualize just like a normal XP copy?

[irreverentmoose]

It should, why, are you torrenting it? Might was well just get the normal xp then, it runs great in vmware fusion (can't attest to paralells) especially with vmwares accelerated 3d graphics. Just don't expect to play anything tougher on your graphics card then counterstrike source.

[jacktabby]

What do you mean XP Black?????

[jacktabby]

Oh, I did a google search. If you select the operating system to Windows XP it should work. It will work on some windows version. (I recommend Parallels Desktop)

[Airlock000]

Vmware with UNITY FTW

[Frankfurtxxl]

my new macbook pro is awsome

i was a pc user for my hole life, and this si my first apple computer...i will never switch back to windows

[k3il]

SAME. I've been a PC user since since DOS 4 and bought my first apple mbp last december. I will never go back.

[ustwats]

hahaha" Linux people are from another planet...hehehe

I think this has help me!

[lunchbox4920]

is there a program like compiz for mac os x to download??

[dmc040]

further more if u use osx on pc, apple will not support u or help u if u have any problems since they do not encourage it on a pc, and yes it is illegal

[laptoplover2]

installing os 10 on a PC isn't illegal, the apple store says so but it's not worth buying a copy of leopard, it's like very expensive, and like yew cant install it as much as you want... i would just buy a MacBook with leopard

[vonfeldt7]

Actually, it's not illegal... just looked down upon, such as... masturbating on an airplace.

[jeanforthewin]

chances are if you run osx on your pc, you dont want apple's help, or need it

[urmomowns]

@mounirraad01 a mac is a pc, a pc is a personal computer. I think you mean "way better then windows"

[eliotmvp]

i have a question can i ran OSX from vista opposite from parallels, using parallels or vmware or any other software?

[nationalsroc]

with a modded version of leopard yes but its illegal

[wolfgangab3]

should i use vista or XP with VMware fusion??? i want to be able to use everything i used to use on my old vista PC.

[chaz4510]

this video is quite old, both vmware 2 and parallels 4 are very decent, not much to choose between them. I use vmware 2 and it works really well, have used it with vista and xp. Vista is a ram hog, si Id go to 4GB ram if your running vista

[Miguelllanosi]

XP, vista is reahahhahahally slow

[Philc7753]

since its been about 2 years since hes posted this video

i currently have parallels 4

is vmware still worth it?

[Trivmvirate]

goddamn how big are does dual screens

[chazzyfizzle1234]

30 inches each

[SpAMCAN]

Vmware Fusion is very cool,

[rhoghost]

it sux now that the vm ware is not free, i changed to virtual box, still, vm ware is faster than virtual box.

[wtetzner]

I run Windows XP in VirtualBox (host is Linux), and it seems faster than vmware server. Don't know about Vista though.

[rhoghost]

i didn't try it much inside linux, but , i really believe v.box will be more faster than vm ware in all platforms. i mean newer versions if virtual box are much faster than older ones, just like open office.

[ninja9899cp]

yea virtualbox is free and i actually like it more than parallels and fusion

[rhoghost]

yea i downloaded the new v.box and the new ub 9.04, i never thought id be able to run the desktop effects inside a virtual machine, but v. box did it, i think at the moment, v box is good or even better than vm ware.

[ernestryles]

in a way but some things arent as good

[PuffinBoy415]

VIRTUALBOX!!!!

[kochkochkoch]

I use VMware Workstation for emulation on my Vista.

[DarkS3phiroth17]

no it doesnt, why should? there no difference from a normal laptop, the hardware is the same

[DarkS3phiroth17]

oh yea i prefer fusion for emulation aniway

[dknguitar]

Vmware Fusion is the best for that.

[K3VY8295]

why dont u just buy both pc and mac laptop/desktops...

[DarkS3phiroth17]

would be stupid...on mac you can install windows too.

i mean native.

[K3VY8295]

it will lag

[akpokemon]

It's actually just the same speed, if not 1,000,000,000,000 times faster AND better. Emulating Windows on Mac finally lets the light of Windows shine a little. Fewer crashes, seamless emulation. Wonderful.

[K3VY8295]

i got my macbook (finally) a few days ago and has anyone got win7 beta "aero" theme working on fusion? cause ive been hearing that win 7 has improved alot and i would like it on my macbook instead of the super slow vista or xp

[mitchcoker18]

what would you recommend for a mac mini. i would like windows, but it's not my biggest priority. i know the mini doesn't have alot of ram and i think you said parallels uses a good bit of ram. if you do partition your hard drive for boot camp and windows messes up, can you take windows off?

[roycie83]

Yes, simply go to boot camp assistant and choose to remove the partition. It will restore your single disk mac to the state prior to partition for windows.

[Dojan5]

I do prefer Parallels 4...

I don't know why though.

[therats2270]

i love the binary clocks behind the screens

[lemurguy07]

As a Vista user I feel kind of silly not knowing this, but what the fudge is Aero?

[johnisironman]

Windows Aero= Windows Vista Ultimate

[yabanize]

Transperant windows and stuff in vista

[wolih]

You say linux people are from another planet? Damn, look at yourself.

[ccubsfan94]

would i be able to play games with vmware

[johnisironman]

yes

[inffernoz]

Hi guy, sorry I have a cuestion; if I run Parallels in my Mac, Then I need an AntiVirus for Windows?

PD: sorry for my bad English I can't writte so god.

[LPmeyer]

Your Windows under Parallels works exactly how Windows native on a PC. You need the same protections. It's very important to install AntiVirus into Windows in Parallels. If you have a problem (Virus, Windows wrongworks, etc.)the easy solution is reinstal Windows in Paralles.

[gaahhhhhh]

parallels kills your CPU and RAM. I have parallels, and i allow 1GB of RAM for Vista. I have 2GB in all, and between paralells, Leopard, and vista my RAM is maxed out and my CPU is around 80%. Maybe VMware is better

[tbelltoday]

your not very educated

[gaahhhhhh]

What are you talking about... you didn't even use the correct form of "you're". Hypocrite much?

[miamitalent]

that was funny.. oh wait tha waz funi jeje

[DeMichaelSuperFan]

Do you have to buy windows xp or vista when you get parallels?

[handy7390]

Yes

[kundio6661]

Hey gnome smell my ass you fuckin shit butt. Stay in your basement and jerk off to asian porn idols. you dizzy fuck.

[zombiecarrot]

thanx

[WindowsGuru84]

I love when i just search for a random topic, and get a pirillo video :) its so cool :)

[MarT304]

@WindowsGuru84 you should change your name. Windows is garbage.

[bullmad43]

@MarT304 windows sucks so much that almost every mac user wants to have it run on their macs

[MarT304]

@bullmad43 I dont want it. Dont need it.

[Porojukaha]

@MarT304 if its such garbage why do mac users want it? why does parallels exist?

[MarT304]

@Porojukaha personally I dont want it but it has yet to be adopted by the business community. However if you pay attention to technology trends Apple has grown in market share by leaps and bounds. Check out the stock price. However, in the meantime I will continue to run Dual boot windows on my Mac with OSX being the OS I use 95% of the time. Your day will come. Enjoy your future Mac.

[qqcolaman]

@Porojukaha I use it (VMware Fusion 3) to run modelling software (Geotechnical and Mapping), and other programs that will not run on Mac OS X (yet...).

[Dilster3k]

@Porojukaha Because there are exclusive applications for Windows. For me it's Vegas, because I have a lot of experience with it. Otherwise, I'd go for OS X Lion over Windows 7 any day.

[maxisawesome12ify]

@Porojukaha Combat Arms is why.

[filippo333]

@MarT304 Macs are expensive garbage....

[skimpaler]

@filippo333 Sounds like jealousy to me! Just the fact that I can run OSX and Win 7 on one machine is more than enough reason to have a Mac. BTW Mac's are not overly expensive. The more machine you want the more it will cost is true but if you cost compare between PC and Mac and use identical parts (in every way) then the cost of a PC is similar to a Mac. PC's break down way more often and get Hacked all the time. Mac no so much.

[filippo333]

@skimpaler You sir obviously have no idea, I used to run Snow Leopard on my Windows computer, everything worked from the wireless to the SD Card reader. I removed it after a while because I was always either using Vmware Fusion or Windows itself and I didn't see the point in wasting my time with all these fancy Mac apps. Plus the new video card I recently installed doesn't work with even the official macs so yeah...

[krayziebydaflesh]

with VMware fusion when im in Unity mode if i were to minimize a windows app the app would disappear. in order for me to maximize the app again i have to exit unity. is their a fix or way around this?

[zombiecarrot]

how much is VM Fusion???!

[Xamizer]

Have you ever heard of google? How about you use it before you throw off random comments.

[zombiecarrot]

did i ask u 2 tell me wtf :@ read it and move on if you dont know

[handy7390]

$59 with the promo discount

[tylerblogger]

Wine

Is

Not a windows

Emulator

There that's what wine is.

[XxScHw4RtZxX]

Wine Is Not Emulation lol..

[UrsaMinor12]

The name 'Wine' derives from the recursive acronym Wine Is Not an Emulator

[ne0ngeek]

i just said that...

[UrsaMinor12]

not the official way I was posting the correct way

[harpersteven]

i've watched a good few of your videos and i know you are the right guy to ask. can you do a video and show me how to set up xp to run on a mac in Parallels mode? i need xp to run a program called citect as i dont think i can get a copy of it that is mac supported. ( every thing in uni is Xp.)

[rhillner]

virtual box is pretty good and free

[byandy]

first of all, you should change your vid title cause you dont talk about parallel at all

second, all you talk about is vmware fusion, which is dumb. Quote from you, "Vmware fusion blows parallel out of the water" yet all the features you talked in vmware are capable in parallel, thus you have absolutely no knowledge in what you're talking about, along with no justification other than your biases opinion.

this video is totally usesless in gaining insight as to which product to pick.

[oromisthewise]

i actually thought that this was justified. i have used parallels on my 2.4ghz 2gb of ram macbook and whilst its incredible and very practical its actually so slow i wouldnt consider using it for any real applications. in coherence mode on xp, msn by itself gets both cores running around 80% and takes up 70% of my ram. i guess i just dont mind this video cos im looking into vmware-not wanting to hear how slow parallels is.

take that as a word of warning everyone-parallels is dog slow.

[Valleboi07]

This was very very useful. Maybe you're just having a bad day.

[jgrebski]

what a dork

[davoplace]

lol title a new videa calles "are linux people from anouther planet"

[manucalavera]

with a macbook pro with os 10 wouls i be able to play video games on my virtual win xp?

what do i need to make it work... i tried once

but it didnt find the 3d video card

[xredsandx]

Also, I can't believe the guy who sent Chris the letter actually *bought* Parallels. I pirated it along with VMware Fusion.

[kainaussie]

lol same

what pirate sites do u use

[xredsandx]

I use Pirate Bay and Demonoid.

[PHIXI0N23]

i pirate everything.

[jffonseca10]

yeah!!

serailbox rocks!!

[xredsandx]

Lulz. I'm guessing by the negs that some people would rather blow money on software rather than pirate it like us.

[notpip]

yeah, why support the companies that write the high quality software you use? if you're into getting free software, then use free open source software (FOSS). software should be free, but you're stealing from people who try to make a living from writing/producing/publishing it.

douche.

[xredsandx]

I don't feel like using Virtualbox, OpenOffice, or Gimp. I love pirating software. The more expensive it is, the better. I honestly don't care if I'm stealing. Cry?

[19BlackLord91]

me too just thing about it lets say you built a pc in home ~$800 and need OS you go to a store buy it for ~$200? office ~$150 anti-virus ~$100 photoshop etc. ~$100 3DSM ~$120 Gams one = ~$100 the list goes on and on and on and on and on in place yo wast ~$670 wast ~$67 I am a dev too I do programs and 3D arts I would give away any thing I did unless they ask me to do I get payed

[Valleboi07]

Your just another asshole that has nothing better than talk shit about someone your jealous about.Get a grip idiot

[notpip]

let me help you with that mental heavy lifting.

"You're just another asshole that has nothing better to do than talk shit about someone you're jealous over. Get a grip, idiot."

i have the moral fiber & finances to afford the commercial software i need in life... that certainly doesn't make me jealous or an idiot. it means i'm not a two bit thief. if you want free software look into ubuntu or fedora. there's the open source cd, as well.

looking forward to hearing back from you, caveman.

[Valleboi07]

Ok...hmm...well that was a real nerdy answer which really sucked! And 2, I wasnt even talking about piracy dickhead. I iwas talking about the idot that was shitting on mac users fucker. If you think you're really that smart you would realize.....caveman!!LOL

[airmc5]

Why the heck his vidz is longer than 10 minutes, damn it, what is that??

[xredsandx]

He joined before they imposed the limit, so he retains the ability to upload videos longer than 10 minutes.

[badenbrarrar]

I know its the best to use bootcamp for games because it has a 100% performance. but which is better to play games on parallels or vmware??

[jstric385]

VMware Fusion adapts 3D graphics more proficiently. So, yes, VMware Fusion is better for gaming on a Windows platform at a DirectX 9 standard.

[xXYonnyXx]

What was he running on his 30 inch monitors back then before he got his Mac Pro?

[liambiscuit]

4:35 @dean YES this is going on youtube. lol

[simmonds06]

-.-

[tragicliars]

how many times can you install vmware fusion?

[PSPSlimLover]

when he said he was running Linux, I laughed

[airmc5]

What is your problem with Linux? Linux is the best OS in this planet, Windows and Mac are for kids like you!

[XtremePCGamer]

^^^^^ROFL^^^^^ Who needs a cube, that shows us our "cool" childish desktop like Linux

[hex3n]

XtremePCGamer thanks for telling us how much you know about GNU Linux.

Your usually better off keeping your mouth shut instead of spilling you tardness all over the web.

[KrisR9706]

Im sorry that people dont care about a queer cube, i like spaces in mac because it takes less time to find a space im looking for than to maneuver around a fucking cube. XtremePCGamer is right..... FUCK LINUX!

[airmc5]

What you telling is non-sense! Mind first before opening that large dirty hole on your face, your so-called mouth, but I call it shit gun! XD

[jffonseca10]

wirh linux people develop things that are already out!! such a waste of time!!

suckers!!

[airmc5]

It becomes open source, stupid ***hole, so you can access it source code, modify it, trick it to fit well with my need!

[floridasking939291]

00:35 to 2:12........ long ass email. lol

[EmirrrBiznitch]

actually you can enable 3d in vmware

[monkeynuggetman]

is VMware good for gaming. i really miss steam

[BlackFoxG]

check out crossover for mac

[monkeynuggetman]

ive tried the free trial and looked up all the stats but it doesn't support GMod and thats the only reason i have steam. they only support steam for CSS

[demonwx10]

umm can parallels run windows already partitioned by bootcamp?

[pdp210]

yup its possible...

when u select the virtual machine you want to install itl give u an option to run the boot camp partition instead

[pdp210]

@bickflix...

its a matter of opinion to other people ...u cant force them into liking a product.

i personlay like apple and find it easier for my work and use..

but there are a few people who prefer sticking with windows ...

rather just leave them at peace with their system is what i say..

both os's have their positives..

[himynameismarek]

lunux people ARE from another planet

[Donaldalbert]

VmWare Rocks

[farrellt61093]

how do u get a video longer than 10 mins

[NearlyNubile]

Parallels is much faster than vmware if you use Windows XP virtual inside a Mac. If you want Vista, then vmware is more stable. Bootcamp is fine but it's highly inconvenient because you need to restart.

[brostinkles1]

do you need bootcamp for VMware?

[PhatPazzo]

No.

[ringuete]

vmware fusion runs inside osx.

is an application, like office, or ilife, that virtualizes the hardware.

[brostinkles1]

I'm guessing vmware works great with xp and leopard.
