I switched months ago from Parallels to Fusion. Way better memory management, faster, a real native Mac GUI, better support for Non-Windows OSes (there's even Linux Tools for everything) and of course the most important reason: Parallels does not run OPENSTEP, Fusion does!

I use Parallels but I'm curious about Fusion. Which do you use and why?
