Do you need or use virtualization software? If yes, which application do you prefer, Parallels or VMware?
Please feel free to share your experiences.
I personally prefer Parallels Desktop.
I use it on my Mac to test and play with Linux distros sometimes, I like OpenSolaris a lot.

There's also an freeware virtualizer for OS X: QEMU

I prefere Parallels Desktop. Easy to use and no bugs for me yet.
I also like parallels Desktop, I hadn't tested others yet. I use the Apple Remote to switch between fullscreen, window and coherence mode
Heh naquaada, that remote switching sounds nice. I like the Parallels Effects.
edit: yes, I know that you need that Infrared hardware part by microsoft and mira for it, you told me in IRC
Erm, the freeware virtualizer I really wanted to post here is VirtualBox (virtual box.org/). QEMU is another one, also for PowerPC.
@ Puttabong: But you need the Apple Remote Software Mira for it, Parallels has no inbuilt function for this.
Naquaada which operating systems do you virtualize with Parallels? Certainly not Windows I suppose
Actually none My 10.5.1 system is still experimental. I used Windows Media Center 2005 in Parralels. But I have no real Win installation anymore. I tested DOS 6.22, 7.01 and Solaris 10.
Can you write an dvd image with Toast? My system is always crashing since when I do that. I hope it's not the Opteron
For me, Windows XP is better in Parallels Deskop than in VMWare fusion, whereas, Windows Vista is better in VMFusion than in Parallels Desktop. Weird huh? However, my preference is still Parallels, no doubt about it. =)
WinLinMac, did you already try the latest version? Maybe it improves your Vista experience.
Puttabong, I will try, and let you know. =) Hopefully it will, with less of a lag, lol. - Cheers
