Even? Windows? Even?

I was just browsing VMware’s Fusion site and thought of its banner. Shouldn’t it be called “Even Windows is better on the Mac”? Hm… anyway. Pondering whether to try out the demo for my Mac or not. I would not like to have any VMware corpses lying around in my system if I would decide not to buy the full version. As it seems, many people *beckon to gicmo* prefer to use Parallels instead of VMware for desktop virtualizations. I only know a few folks that use or have been using Fusion. And I know like nobody, who ever even tried to use VirtualBox on a Mac. So… hm.

UPDATE: I just talked to gicmo, since he has Parallels installed on his Mac, and asked him to give me the ouput of ps aux | grep -i parall, so that I can compare it to my ps aux | grep -i vm (yepp, I’ve just installed the Fusion Demo) output… and well.. I guess I can call it equal. Each of these two products has some daemons running in background, even if the application itself isn’t or even hasn’t been running since the Mac started up. For me, both of them solve the actual problem I have: Virtualizing other operating systems (Linux, Win, UNIX, etc.) on my Mac. Now I need to figure out, what the details are, that make one product look better than the other. I guess I’ll need to search for some comparison of “Parallels vs. VMware Fusion“, using the recent versions of both. Maybe I’ll find something.
