Parallel Desktop 7 or VMWare Fusion 4??

[paulwestperth]

Before I buy one of those 2 software, I just want to know which one is best Parallel Desktop 7 or VMWare Fusion 4 for Web Designer? I'm using MacBook (15-inch, 2.4 GHz, 2.4GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, 4GB 1333MHz, 750GB 5400-rpm1). I feel that Parallels Desktop 7 is faster and the graphics are better than VMWare Fusion 4. Any suggestions?

They both have their ups and downs.

I recommend VirtualBox. It competes nicely with VMWare's Fusion and Parallels on price.

What, precisely, do you intend to do with virtualization software? Run Dreamweaver? Why not develop for the web/internet with native Mac applications instead of virtualizing?

Or maybe just for running Windows versions to test the websites as they appear in Windows systems?

There's no right or wrong choice. Try any of the three and make your pick - Fusion, Parallels, Virtualbox. Whichever works for you (or even more than one).
