FM 12 in Parallels using Win7

[Scott Prentice]

Ah yes .. my experience with this is through Fusion, but I'm quite sure 
that the 64/32-bit question is the same for both virtualization options.

At the time I made this switch (7 years ago), Fusion was generally 
considered the better choice, and it was also the system that a couple 
of my clients were using. Since then, it seems that the "preference" 
switches from Parallels to Fusion as each comes out with a new release. 
In reality I think it's probably a toss-up.

I've been more than happy with Fusion (and don't see the 
FM12-horizontal-scroll crasher), so will likely stick with this for the 
foreseeable future.

Cheers,

...scott

The issue has recently come to Adobe's attention here on the list, so perhaps they will issue a patch.

I've had no issues with setting up virtual machines for Win7 (aside from Win7 itself!@) and OS X Snow Leopard Server. I've not tried FrameMaker yet. But I plan to evaluate Fusion.
