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 guess we're going a bit off-topic here, but this evening I tried out Fusion (5). At the moment I'm interested in OS X virtual machines, using Snow Leopard Server. I hit what looks like a major snag with Fusion: in a Fusion Snow Leopard VM I get offered only one display resolution (tiny screen), as opposed to the zillions in a Parallels (9) SL VM. I will investigate this further when I get time, and see if the problem exists in a Fusion Win7 VM.

It was an evaluation version of Fusion: maybe they cripple it.
