I searched and didn't find this here. A list that might help you decide which to use...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_VMware_Fusion_and_Parallels_Desktop

whatever is cheapest?

Having run a bunch of scientific tests between the two myself, I can say that article is very biased towards Parallels. Especially the performance tests.

After hearing about all the problems with Parallels, I'd say go with Fusion.

Which reminds me, the chart doesn't show such things. For example, they say it has better 3D support. However, in my tests I found that even games they listed on their site as compatible were not. Somehow when MacTech ran their tests, they managed to find a few games that worked but didn't mention if it was hard for them or not. Either they got really lucky, or they failed to mention that.

I've heard that half the time. The other half I've heard the exact opposite.
