RobNyc Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I am trying to see what/how many people use what. And why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabba Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Neither got me gaming (as I hoped), but Parallels graphics are still more smooth on my nvidia 6800 Ultra than with Fusion. In particular, when running the "desktop-less" mode in each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobNyc Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 I noticed COherence mode and Unity is very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico3d3 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I tried both and Fusion is still the best for performance on my Core2Duo with ATI X1600 (QE-CI enabled). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velayo Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 FUsion seems to be faster on my Macbook C2D and I use it. But I like Parallels coherence implementation better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCa Cola Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 i still prefer parallels as coherence integration feels better as with vmware's fusion. i also don't like it how vmware fills the whole screen when maximizing applications where parallels leaves space so the dock isn't overlapped by maximized apps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Fusion: Faster, Better integration, best compatibility over different OSes (I use the sem VMs over 3 different OSes). And can run Mac OS X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time ed Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Fusion: faster tighter development/more mature better integratation multiplatform support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borisbadenov Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I'm also getting my feet wet in this arena. I do like the overall look and integration of Parallels, however, Fusion does support x64 bit Windows and better use of a Core 2 Duo chip. I know that does not much help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munky Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 can fusion boot a real partition yet? if not, i'll go with parallels every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time ed Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Fusion was the original "boot a real partition" software... I booted Vista under Fusion for a couple of months in the summer before I decided to recover the disk space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 can fusion boot a real partition yet? if not, i'll go with parallels every time. Sure, and it does it very transparent even on Hackintoshes. You can even assign other Physical drives/partitions (just create the vmdk file with a tool that came with Fusion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyhighmac Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Fusion. Vmware has a much better track record in terms of virtualization. You can boot real hard drives, and create virtual partitions for your other machines. My uncle is an engineer and has at least two virtual machines running at the same time along with his normal os. While that's on the windows side, it just shows its stability. I like it better because it's interface is much cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wzzl Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Had a hard time making a choise. Finnaly took VMWare as the utilities for vmware are great like migrating a pc into a single vmware image and migrating a parralels image into a vmware image. Could anybody explain the difference between the vmware unity and the parralel coherence? It looks like there is a difference when i read it here.
