Wow.

If valid, then times have changed, and Parallels has caught up to--and surpassed--the performance of VMware Fusion.

Yeah, I thought "wow" too - 15% faster than Fusion, I'm in.

Until I tried Parallels 4. Nothing but trouble with Vista x64. Parallels Tools won't install, mouse won't work, BSOD etc. etc. Awful.

Back to Fusion - never had a single problem. Will test VirtualBox too.
