Using Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion, you can run Windows and Windows apps at the same time as OS X, rather than having to reboot into Windows. My biggest complaint with Parallels is the support. Parallels Desktop 10 and VMWare Fusion 7 are virtualization software: They're different from Boot Camp, Apple's method for running Windows on the Mac, because they're virtual machine environments. Has anyone used both applications that can provide me with some opinions on the differences and why fusion would be a better choice. Personally I'll probably get VMWare Fusion when it's released as opposed to Parallels because VMWare has good support for multiple operating systems where as Parallels seems to focus almost exclusivly on Windows. Im currently running Parallels 3.0 on my Macbook with Vista. Fusion also allows you to use two CPUs in the virtual machine and USB 2.0.īut again Fusion is a beta program at the moment so it's not going to be a stable as Parallels is at the moment (in fact I got a kernel panic while installing Windows XP) and since debugging mode and logging are still enabled in the beta Fusion is going to run slower then Parallels.

#PARALLELS 13 VS VMWARE FUSION 10 SOFTWARE#
The main thing I really like about their software is that there is support for a plathora of operating systems not just Windows.īut I also haven't used Parallels (I've been waiting for VMWare Fusion) so I'm not sure how good it is but I can tell you some of the things that VMWare Fusion supports that I've heard Parallels doesn't at the moment (it may in a beta version).įirst of all Fusion supports a huge number of operating systems includeing several flavors of Linux (I just installed Ubuntu and it works great), Windows of course (everything from 3.11 to experimental support for Vista), Solaris, MS-DOS, and even a few more. Parallels 13 Fusion 10 Mac Touch Bar support Parallels 12 Fusion 10 Linked Clone support Parallels 11 Fusion 8 Minimum system requirements. See VMware Fusion memory requirements, 4142 options for, 713 Parallels. Personally I really like VMWare's tools, they do nice work and produce some really quality products. I use VMWare at work almost every day and I just downloaded the beta of VMWare Fusion for OS X.
