A little annoyance with Fusion if you decide to use your Boot Camp partition however is that after you quit Fusion the Boot Camp volume isn't mounted anymore. The GUI seems more intuitive though in my opinion. It actually is almost the same from the feature list. VMware's Fusion just recently reached its final status and is very similar to Parallels. ![]() This means that Parallels can boot Windows using your Boot Camp partition if you already have installed Boot Camp and are a occasional Boot Camp user. It now even supports Boot Camp partitions. Its GUI is pretty nice and it is fairly easy to install. It's been around for quite a while now and it is probably the most spread among the 3 virtualization alternatives. Next there is Parallels: it is the first virtualization software that reached final status. You might be interested in using Bootchamp as well if you opt to use Bootcamp. I recommend using Boot Camp especially if you are a gamer and need the speed and Direct X support. The downside to Boot Camp however is that you have to reboot your Mac to switch operating systems. This is the only alternative that allows you to run Windows at native speed on your Mac.
