I've got a few apps I need to run that I can't get working with Crossover (VS2k8, couple RIM/BB tools, etc) so I'm going to order a copy of either Fusion or Parallels.. both are on pretty good sale w/ Amazon.

I've downloaded the demos of both, both work well. Parallels has run great under Snow 64 whereas Fusion needs arch=i386 w/ no immediate 64bit support. However, Fusion seemed just a little more robust, which basically makes the 2 packages equal.

Prices are essentially the same, and both had a minor con (to me) that makes it kind of meh. Anyone have a preference of one over the other?

Just install Virtualbox and save your cash for something else. http://www.virtualbox.org
