Is Parallels 5 or VMware Fusion 3 (Or whatever the newest one is) better?

Asked by ipodtouchh4x0r (35points) January 26th, 2010

I have been pondering on this question for a long time. These two virtual machines are practically almost the same (PROBABLY except for the GUI only) and I want to know the main differences that make you LIKE one more than the other… Please help me decide… I am going to but the one that you people like more. Remember, majority wins (psst : I’ll teach all of the winning team voters how to get their virtual machines free if you win!)

Parallels annoyed me to all hell. I’m not even gonna bother with reasons here, I just don’t like it.

VMWare wasn’t too bad.

I’ve used Q for some older systems I’ve wanted to emulate. Haven’t tried it with anything recent though.

Also, VirtualBox.
