Review by Jeffrey Heaton

When Mac introduced Intel chips they opened the door to finally be able to run PC software on the Mac. I rushed out and bought Parallels. When Parallels was the only game in town it was great. Sure Parallels crashed sometimes, and would often lose its internet connection. But it was great to be able to run PC’s.

Now you have an established visualization leader, VMWare in the game. I’ve rarely seen VMWare crash or drop its internet connection. You’re still not going to run 3d windows games at full power/extreme performance. But for everything short of video games, this product does quite well.

VMWare lets me use hardware that just does not support my Mac. I can plug in my TomTom, programmable remote control, Lego Mindstorms and other USB devices that do not have Mac programs. Or in the case of Mindstorms, do not have a very good Mac program!nnIf you want the best of both worlds, this is a great product!
