    Default Mac: Parallels or VMWare?

    Okay, so I'm not sure which to pick. Bootcamp is not really an option, seeing as I don't really plan to buy a legal copy of Windows ^^;;;.



    Which is better? VMWare Fusion 3.0 or Parallels 5.0, and why? Also please consider the battery/CPU usage of each one (I'll be having an i7 processor).

    I have used both, they both have their upsides. In terms fo battery power my experience as of late has been that parallel is a processor hog which more than likely is going to chew through your battery in a hurry. Parallels also seems to be a little more feature but also is much faster in the tasks you are trying to have it chew through. Check this site out. Seems to have a decent side by side comparison of what you are looking for.

    Thank you for that info, Honu.

    Anybody else have something interesting to say about them? I can't base this off of just one opinion, you know ;P.
