Dual boot does not allow me to run Windows apps while still running in MAC
OS. I'll often times have a windows application that looks like it launches
from the MAC desktop, (it's really running in Winders with VMWare).
I've not tried parallels to see if the same functionality exists but I'm
guessing it does.

Subject: Re: [PCTECH] OSX: VMWare or Parallels?
Ever thought about doing a dual boot ?
Somebody asked me that the other day and it almost sounds tempting since
Vmware kicks up the juice consumption.
I'm still with VMware since I move images between Windows and Mac. Not sure
if this works with Parallels ?

I still use VMWare on my MAC (since I have it) but I agree with Jon's
assessment. Given the choice I would use Parallels.

I gave up using VM Ware on my Mac for two reasons.
First their upgrade policy seems unfair to existing users and they
effectively forced a paid upgrade far more frequently than Parallels. That
may have changed but I never revisited it because as far as I know they have
never changed the other issue I had ?
Which is that their C drive is seen by the Mac as one big amorphous lump.
That in turn chewed up a lot of time and space with Time Machine and no way
was I going to exclude it. Parallels treats the C drive as a mountable image
and all the files are individually visible in OSX. I find that much more
convenient.
It always struck me that VM Ware was more oriented towards corporate
customers whereas Parallels was more oriented to individual users. On the
rare occasions when I have had problems with Parallels their Twitter group
have resolved them really quickly. With VM Ware I had several support issues
and got very little help.
Just my 10 cents worth.
