Running Windows on the Mac

It’s really a shame that we can’t run Leopard – the latest Mac OS release – on a virtual machine. Apple does not allow that presumably so that you will buy Apple hardware. If you buy Mac hardware, you can run Windows on a virtual machine with Leopard as the platform. There are two choices and I’m not sure which is the better choice: Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac ($79 includes $25 Apple gift card) or VMware Fusion ($60 with rebate). I haven’t used Parallels. I’ve used VMware, but not VMware Fusion. If it’s as good as VMware Workstation, then it is outstanding.

    In fact, VMware Fusion is built on the same foundation as VMware Workstation 6. You’ll be pleasantly surprised to find that Fusion is just as outstanding as its older brother.
