Get your reports and projects done faster with the improved network and hard drive performance of Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac. The best just got better. Now you can enjoy peak performance of Parallels Desktop 7 for Macs and do 5 things that Fusion doesn’t—and achieve it all at the fastest speeds ever.

5 reasons to switch from Fusion if you want Lion:

  1. Fusion Migration Assistant doesn’t work on Lion
    You’re ready to move to Mac, but want an easy way to bring all your programs, files documents and browser settings with you.
    Only Parallels Desktop for Mac makes it easy for you to switch.
  2. Boot Camp partitions don’t work in Fusion running on Lion
    Parallels Desktop works great with Boot Camp.
  3. Fusion doesn’t fully support running on Lion. We do
    VMware says they will "provide best-efforts support if you choose to upgrade to Lion but cannot guarantee a resolution for all issues."
  4. VMware makes you uninstall and reinstall before your USB devices will work with your virtual machine
    Parallels Desktop doesn’t – it just works.
  5. Parallels is unequalled in performance and customer loyalty
    In 4,000+ MacTech benchmark tests, Parallels Desktop 6 for Mac "beat VMware Fusion 3.1 in 92% of the 3D graphics tests" and "84% of the general tests."

#1 choice of customers and market leader.

  • @mfp At this point I don't think it matter what VMware does with Fusion 4.0 as almost everyone will have moved to Parallels. 

  • I think I am going to switch to Parallels 7. Fusion just doesn't seem like a priority for VMWare 

  • Goodbye too slow @VMwareFusion, hello fast @ParallelsMac V7 #virtualisation #apple
