Comment on Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac by Ron M.
VMWare Fusion users … the time to switch is now!!!,
I have been using VMWare Fusion almost since it was released, and have been generally happy with it. However, after a recent update my machines seem to have slowed down, and VMWare consumes a lot of CPU even when my virtual machines are idle. I decided to try Parallels 7, and I am SO GLAD that I did. It is way faster, way more polished, and easy to customize the way I like. I wish I would have switched years ago!!! Importing from my VMWare machines as as simple as pressing a button … it was all automatic and worked perfectly for me. I like to run in “full screen” mode when I am using Windows, and Parallel’s Lion support makes this much smoother (each machine in full screen mode gets its own “space” in OSX Lion).
Anyone who is using VMWare and who isn’t totally happy with it should consider switching now!!!
p.s. VMWare Fusion users can get a copy for $29 from Parallel’s web site … do a google search to find the order page. You just need to enter your VMWare Fusion license to qualify.
