A Noted Path by Theodore Nguyen-Cao: Parallels Desktop vs VMWare Fusion

  • Brent · 10 months ago
    I'm kind of in the same boat. I hear VMWare is better, but until Parallels takes a dump on me, I'll probably just keep using it. I had a small problem with Parallels a few weeks back, but after a quick software update, it's been running like a champ ever since.

    Hey there Theodore. So glad that you're liking VMware Fusion.

    There are a lot of former Parallels users who have moved over to VMware Fusion because they prefer the stability and maturity of the VMware code. In fact, we have a $30 rebate for former Parallels users, to help ease the transition. You can learn more here: http://www.vmware.com/landing_pages/fusion_reba...

    Also, if you have other Parallels VMs that haven't been corrupted, you can use VMware Fusion to import them into a VMware Fusion virtual machine. You can check out a video here: http://vmwareelearning.blip.tv/file/1259426/

    Thanks for sharing your experience!
