Suspension of Disbelief

Disclaimer: I don't work for either VMWare or Parallels, as it turns out, neither has offered me a job


In my ceremonial replacement of the Parallels icon in my dock with the VMWare Fusion icon (Fusion or Fission) somebody left a comment telling me to hide my employment by VMWare, etc, marking my video as a blatant attempt at thrashing Parallels. Not only do I get about 200-400 hits a day (i'm exceedingly relevant to the industry), I don't work for VMWare. I simply have endured Parallels since it was released, and am happy that VMWare released a great competitor to the market.

This video is of a prime example of where Fusion excels where Parallels...doesn't. Virtual machine suspension, and resume. Parallels, even when not being used hogs resources in such a way that I've considered scrapping my intel 20" iMac for a Mac Pro just so my other applications don't beachball; because of this resource-suck, I had gotten in the habit of suspending virtual machines whenever possible.

Music by KiloWatts. The set used in the video can be downloaded from hybridized.
