hey mac nerds! virtualization?

[rmd]

Is either parallels or vmware fusion worth the $$ over free solutions like virtualbox? I don't *think* I'm going to want particularly graphics=heavy things like games, and it looks like graphics is the thing that parallels excels at, so I don't think I need parallels. VMWare fusion looks slicker than virtualbox, but I don't know if it's $60 slicker.

I don't think that VirtualBox does a "unity" form of view, in which Windows windows are just yet another window style for Mac OS X windows to look like. I vastly prefer a unified experience like that to either an in-window virtual machine or a full-screen virtual machine experience.

I'd definitely look at the Ars Technica article jnala referenced. They know their stuff, and I'm not up on the most recent versions of either.
