Is there a list of all the supported Windows programs by CrossOver?
I'm pretty sure its on their website.
Is there a list of all the supported Windows programs by CrossOver?
To the OP, personally I would suggest trying both via their free trial periods and then make your decision.
Not trying to thread-jack or anything but is it possible to run your Boot Camp partition (Windows XP Pro) virtually through OSX via one of these two options (Parallels, VMWare Fusion)? For simple tasks I'd love to be able to load my Boot Camp partition virtually through OSX and reboot into Boot Camp solely for Windows gaming.
Mainly, I'd like to avoid having 3 separate OS installs on one machine: OS X, Windows Boot Camp, Windows Virtual Machine ... is this at all possible?
Thanks,

...VMware...
They are the Microsoft of Virtual computing.
I have an iMac Leopard OS 10.5.5 and conFUSION running a Windows program that isn't available in MAC (drat the luck) - So far, I have the program working fine in the Fusion with one major issue - printing. If I can get the printer to work in either system, the instant that I revert to the other system, the printer ceases to print. I have installed and re-installed the printer in my VM but it will not hold if I open the iMAC OS. When I then go to the iMAC, I have to reinstall the printer - a real bummer. Anyone else encountered such a problem?
I also have Bootcamp running windows with the same program. With this configuration, the printer will work in either OS; however, I really like the ability of moving between Leopard and the Windows installation and would like to continue, but the printer issue has me baffled.
Any suggestions?

Just a little info. When I run Parallel 3 I can not get the sw update to work for my Sony Ericsson phone. However with Fusion it finds the phone attached to a USB port right away.
just some interesting tidbit but for me I actually bought VMWare at that time rather than Parallel after trying both.
Tom Sawyer - I'm a 'newbie', so could you elaborate on your '..changing the network setup to Bridged instead of NAT which enabled the VM to fully see the network...' suggestion. When I look at the Network feature in System Preferences, I do not see terms listed as 'bridged', 'NAT', etc.

Ok Guys very confused Newbie here, coming form windows environment I would like to keep it on MAC OSx and I see the votes are going for VMWare, so my query is Do I need to set the Boot Camp and partition the disk followed by setting up windows on boot camp ,before setting up VMWare
or I can setup VMWare on OSx without the need for boot camp thus saving on the space used by boot camp
Many thanks for being patient with me
xVM VirtualBox is a new product developed by Sun and it's free. check it out:

I did nothing with boot camp. I just installed and configured VM and then installed windows on the partition there.
I am already running Bootcamp, for the Autodesk Inventor software. I would like to be able to run lesser applications, such as word and powerpoint, without having to reboot. First off can I install the same copy of VISTA Ultimate on both bootcamp, and parallels or VMware? Second which should I use Parallels or VMware?
