My Switch from Parallels to Vmware Fusion

http://www.vmware.com/switchtofusion

I am very excited to finally finish my "Switch to Fusion" Ad/Video. The opertnity could have not come at a better time as I my self had just switched because Parallels had been giving me a lot of problems.

I have a very good history with VMware, back in my dark PC days, I used VMware as my only virtualization product to run Vista along side XP along side Ubuntu. It 'Just worked.'

So now that brings me to my long awaited switch to Apple. After the big jump, I still need a way to use Office 2007 for Windows as Office 2008 for the Mac had not come out yet, so I virtualized with Parallels alongside BootCamp for gaming. I quickly found out that Parallels liked to do things on its own, without my knowledge, resulting in its demise and an infenent BSOD inside Parallels and BootCamp.

After switching to VMware all these things became a non issue, thanks to VMware, I have 'A Whole New Way To Slice It."

VMware fusion is far superior for the average user. Its easy to work, not allot to customize and just works. On the other hand if you have a Mac Pro with really high specs, go for Parallels it will run allot smoother, with the extra hardware that is.
