![]() ![]() They actually respond with technical information, and are pretty level headed about debating their product. Vmware is also really being responsive in it's forums. Parallels looks like a linux app, I think they are using QT or something for their GUI. Close enough in usage to make the choice not as relevant to speed.ĬD burning from XP also works, whereas Parallels was pretending to work and creating coasters for me - not that this was a high priority - but annoying. ![]() That, coupled with some tweaks on the VMware forums, netted a non-trivial speed advantage overall for VMware, at least in the benchmark. I had to remove Parallels Tools and disable the Coherence service, which seemed to improve responsiveness in VMware. I also used the exact same VM that I converted. I used passmark and found that after it was adjusted from default settings, Fusion benchmarked faster, except in 2D rendering, which may explain the feel of it being slower. For the purposes of this test I had both virtual machine configured to be a close to each other as possible (so no 2nd cpu truend on is fusion for example, and obviously no Direct X tests). The whole benchmark thing might be a bit moot however if you're after a specific product for a specific reason (perhaps you love coherence or Fusions Direct X support). Parallels seemed the faster of the two, especially on the file intensive work, Fusion downloaded files a bit faster. Seeing I can't post benchmarks I suggest you go and do your own tests. You should disable the debug code in Fusion. In order to do the test I suggest you proceed to install SI Sandra Soft's benchmarking tool in each virtual machine and run the basic benchmarking. use VMW's freeware Converter product (use the "live" image generation from within your running Parallels image). I found a nifty way to transfer a Parallels XP (SP2) Image to VMware's Fusion (Beta 3). however I cannot see the issue with posting an informed opinion. ![]() As suggested the benchmark posting is not allowed - so I have removed it. ![]()
