Bootcamp, Parallels or VmWare on Mac Pro??

[pastrychef]

That is not actually true. You need a licence for every machine. Just buy the licence and get the CD from somewhere (or get a licence with CD), that can be your Dell disk if it is not a restore, or some other machine.

Isn't that the same as buying Windows???

VMware, Parallels, Boot camp --it doesn't matter they all require a licenced copy. So of course you have to buy it.

maybe I should clarify that one of the reasons I switch from Win to Mac is to make things less complicated. I am tired of time being stolen in front of the computer. I have other things to do than sit and resolve tech problems, thus apple is logical for me. Why did I not switch a long time ago!!!

So for me, convenience over performance ... but also stability! I don't want crashes, just saw somewhere fusion is stable, parallels might not be ... Parallels or fusion?



(like Mac or PC? Boeing or Airbus? hehe ...)

I bought Parallels when it was available for pre-order. It was buggy, crashed a lot, and USB sucked. I then picked up Fusion when it was on pre-order. So you can say I've used them both since day 1. Fusion is way better. Maybe Parallels has come a long way since version 1, but I wouldn't know. I've been using VMWare on the PC and Linux for about 10 years and it has always been rock solid.
