For years I used VM Ware's Fusion to run Windows in a virtual environment on my MacBook Pro, primarily because I wanted to run the Windows version of Quicken, which is much more robust than the Mac version. It had been my experience that VM Ware's technical support was outstanding. I was always able to contact a human with little effort. Recently, however, their support function has become less than mediocre, requiring one to wade through their technical database -- a time-consuming effort which resulted in little besides frustration. On a whim, I tried Parallels and, so far, I have been very pleased. It's easy to install and use and it's very intuitive. I hope your technical support, when I need it, is as good.
