Run a copy of Windows on a Boot Camp partition as a virtual machine. Run nearly any version of Windows or Linux - plus Lion, Lion Server, and Snow Leopard Server (but not regular Snow Leopard) - as a guest operating system.
MACBOOK PARALLELS VS VMWARE FULL

But it’s a different category of product - with its own virtues and limitations - and not comparable to full virtualization software.Įveryone’s experience is different, mine (obviously) included. CrossOver lets you run selected Windows apps on your Mac without having Windows itself installed, and that may be exactly what some people need. I’m not going to talk about CodeWeavers’ CrossOver products here. (And, by the way, I would happily write a book about Parallels, too, if the opportunity presented itself.)
MACBOOK PARALLELS VS VMWARE SOFTWARE
I’ve used both Parallels Desktop 7 and VMware Fusion 4, and I thought this would be an appropriate time to offer a brief “state of the union” on virtualization software for the Mac. What hadn’t happened until this month was major releases of both Parallels and Fusion appearing at almost exactly the same time. (The emergence of a solid yet free competitor, Oracle’s VirtualBox, hasn’t hurt either! I’ll get back to VirtualBox later in this article.) Of course, Apple has consistently improved Boot Camp as well - and Windows itself has become much, much better

The two companies have battled on features, performance, and price, and that competition has raised the level of quality of virtualization on the Mac.
MACBOOK PARALLELS VS VMWARE UPGRADE
Every few months or so since then, either Parallels or VMware has rolled out an upgrade that made their product the apparently superior choice for a while. Then VMware got into the game with their own virtualization program, Fusion, and things started to get really interesting.
MACBOOK PARALLELS VS VMWARE MAC OS X
At that time, the leading options were Apple’s Boot Camp dual-boot system and Parallels Desktop, a virtualization program that let Windows run within Mac OS X - but without the heavy performance penalty of PowerPC-based software like Virtual PC. When the first edition of my book “ Take Control of Running Windows on a Mac” came out, just over 5 years ago, running Windows at anything approaching full speed on a Mac was still a novelty.
