Parallel Desktop vs VMware Fusion

Hi Guys,
I do not know if this is the right forum to post this in, but I cant find any forum about this topic. I post it in this forum because I use this forum most. Parallel Desktop or VMware Fusion, which is better. And I was wonder if I bought either of them, do they have the other OS' disc inside or I had to buy one. And how many people the software is licensed to? My school is encouraging me to buy Parallel Desktop.
Any replies is appreciated

1. Nope wrong forum, try here for Tiger http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=160
2. Neither Parallels or VMware include an OS, and if you need the latest and greatest (crappyiest) from Microsoft (VISTA) you'll need to get the full standard edition (i think) as a minimum otherwise face the wrath of the MS legal engine.
3. I use parallel desktop and an old copy of Windows 2000 Professional, so I can run me finance app.
Good luck...

Parallel desktop and VMware Fusion

Hello,
I'm having a hard time figure out what's the best virtual machine to install on my MacBook Pro 2.4 Ghz. I don't like Bootcamp because it requires the reboot. I also looked at CrossOver but the performance was pretty bad so I removed it. I'm now looking at Parallel desktop and VMWare fusion. Can anyone please give me an advice, thanks.

I am using Parallels without problems. I have two XP machines set up, one where I run a couple of Access databases and a family tree database, and another that I use for testing different settings for student lab exercises etc. I also have a Linux Ubuntu machine set up, again for testing settings. The Ubuntu is not quite as seamless as the XP - I can't for example drag files between them.
Feel free to ask any specific questions.

HT5678 I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari. I don't have this problem with firefox

I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari. I don't have this problem with firefox.

do they save ok if Safari - Preferences - Security - Allow all other plug-ins is unchecked ?
If so, likely an adobe or other pdf plugin
Re-check the setting above & quit any browsers,
Look in this folder by triple-clicking the line below, then ctrl-clicking it & choosing Services - Open
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
remove anything with pdf in the filename & test again
Sometimes, plug-ins can be in the User Library folder :
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/

My iMac desktop and McBook Air laptop run on Mavericks, but desktop has VMWare Fusion and runs Windows 7 too. Can I transfer this capability to my McBook Air?

My iMac desktop and McBook Air laptop run on Mavericks. The laptop also runs Windows 7 via VM Ware Fusion. Can I transfer this capability to my McBook Air, so I can run the same plus the Windows programs on my laptop?

Thanks Kappy, but I should add that my desktop runs VMWare Fusion and Windows 7. My laptop and desktop basic operating systems are Mavericks. When I travel, I take my laptop with me. My desktop runs a Windows investment program I like, and I'd like to be able to use this program in my laptop when I'm on the road. VM Ware said I could do this, but would have to make and then transfer a "file" of the programs in question. How would this be done, since it would involve 3 files: Fusion, Windows 7 and the investment program? Maybe Apple should do this at the genius bar? Appreciate any comments...Thanks again, Patrick

Happy to have been of help. Hope all goes smoothly.
BTW, for the sake of others who may help you here, it's usually most polite if you mark the post that answered your question as being the one that "solves" it, not your own post. That's how people get points here, if a questioner marks their post as either "helpful" or "solving". It's not an issue for me, but for those just starting out in the forums it may be important to them. See:

I have tried VERY unsuccessfully to install iphoto 9.2.3 update...it says it has successfully updated - then on opening says: iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of Mac OS X.

I have tried VERY unsuccessfully to install the new iphoto 9.2.3 update.
I have installed it several times both from the appstore and from Apple Support downloads...it says it has 'successfully updated' - then on opening iphoto, a dialogue box pops up and says:
iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.
Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.
Insane...I have all my updates including Lion 10.7.3 why does APPLE KEEP SENDING BETAS AS A REAL PRODUCT?
Does anyone know how to copy over a backup from a twinned drive Backup? What files etc.
Thanks tons...

Thanks Terence,
I did get it working finally...and your last advice was what I needed.
I am embarassed that I was an early adopter...SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER and read the problems before creating some for myself.
This was an excercise in frustration, because of the obtuse division between the appstore and Apple Support downloads... it was a bit of a circuitous route...strange that with all the security reciepts and tracking that Apple goes to to prevent piracy... which Steve by his own admission used to build Apple...
Why aren't the server scripts smart enough to say…”HEY DUMMY you can't use this download because you purchased the last iPhoto upgrade from the appstore...and… DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME and precious data BUDGET downloading this gargantuan file which will eat 20% of your expensive 5Gb monthly data allotment!!!…and NOT WORK…only pretend to…and then foul your system….kill your productivity and turn your hair whiter…even worse than LION did.
I am just so antagonized by the inept scripts in recent installations that don't do a diagnostic before allowing installation that is going to corrupt things...I had less effort and frustration when I ran my ATARI with a MAC emulator...rarely lost any productivity to nonsense.
I AM TIRED OF BETAs dressed as products...designed and rushed out for Apple toys that once were tools of the creative trade...COREL...may still have a chance at a comeback if Apple keeps pumping out toys instead of the venerable tools we once adored as income enhancers.

'''Is there a way to download FF to a USB from another computer and install it from that USB on my PC? '''
You basically answered your own question. If you have access to another computer just go download the appropriate language and OS version of Firefox 5.0 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html and put it on you usb drive and then go and install it onto you pc.
