xtraktion Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I'm already on it. VMware must have updated that screeny, when I signed up for it early monday morning, Parallels was in the dock. Weird. I bought Parallels the last day of the sale and so far I've been quite pleased with the performance (concidering I'm running it on a sse2 hackintosh). The only big problem I've had with it so far is it connecting my RAZR to it...that damn "wait 5-10 seconds" {censored} allways comes up. I updated Parallels with the beta and still a no go. If the VMware beta has this functionality out of the box...I might be persuaded to switch over if Parallels doesn't get it together when they "release the final update in just a few weeks".

Korrupted Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 It'd be nice if you could boot your Boot Camp partition with it, on a real mac... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munky Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Thats the killer feature for me. I suspect they will have it in there - the windows version certainly can directly use real partitions, and Hardware Profiles in windows lets you handle native / non-native boots from the same partition.

INFNITE Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 also, it would be great if you can load your Parallels disk image in VMWare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miguelcerca Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 so, what runs better? parallels or VMware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korrupted Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 They haven't released VMware for OSX yet. But if you mean Parallels(mac) vs VMWare(windows), Parallels stomps it(speed-wise), in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Some more details about VMWare for Mac are at http://www.macintouch.com/specialreports/wwdc2006/index.html. See section "VMware Q&A". Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouch Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Thats the killer feature for me. I suspect they will have it in there - the windows version certainly can directly use real partitions, and Hardware Profiles in windows lets you handle native / non-native boots from the same partition. Cant wait "They also indicated they'd like to make this app as Mac like as possible, and do everything the "OS X way". (And no, this won't work with Boot Camp volumes, because there are a lot of problems to doing that, but they're working on ways they might be able to migrate existing Windows installations into VMs" -From Q&A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
