I have both, Fusion 2 and Parallels 3. I have to concur with their opinion of P3. I removed it from one machine but kept Fusion on the other. Long story short, I have no need to switch between Windows and Mac OS frequently and I just use Boot Camp on those rare occasions when I do need Windows for something. I doubt I'd ever spend another dime on Parallels, having paid for versions 2 and 3 already. I'm sure others have differing opinions - just my $0.02.

I am so glad that I went with Fusion a couple of months back. It does suck up a huge amount of memory though.

Why pay money when you can get it for free Virtual Box

The new version just released today now offers 3D OpenGl support!

I wish they had also compared them to VirtualBox, which is free.

Edit: Damn, Forrest beat me to it!

Parallels was one of the worst software I've ever purchased and really tried to use.

I have some issues in this MBP, and I bet it's due to messy parallels code
