When pondering which virtualization program we wanted to use to run Windows applications on our Macs, we stumbled across this post from ars technica. In the article, Parallels Desktop 7 is compared to VMware Fusion 4 using a multitude of benchmarks and tests.
The last sentence is what aided us the most in our decision: “But if you’re without a virtualization program and are asking me to make a pick, I say go with Parallels Desktop 7. The Parallels’ team has finally put their days of buggy releases behind them; now it’s VMware’s turn to do the same.”
Although we believe that ars technica is an honorable tech review site, we thought it biased to make our decision solely on their word. So, we also looked at a few other notable publications. eWeek.com says right at the beginning of their article that “A superior mobile client and mass deployment support make Parallels Desktop 7 a winner for Mac-based virtualization.”
While trolling YouTube, we found that Best New Products rated Parallels Desktop 7 the #1 Best New Release in Utilities Software.
After looking at a few more comparisons, we decided that’s enough comparing for us. We’re going with Parallels Desktop 7. How about you?
It’s no secret that Parallels Desktop 7 has just been introduced. It’s all over the news. We figured we might as well continue the trend by reporting about it as well.
From one glimpse at Twitter, it’s obvious that the claims of Parallels Desktop 7 being super fast are extremely true. It looks like Parallels might be the way to go when buying virtualization software.
We tracked down this YouTube video that talks about some of Parallels new features. Check it out…
