[Mac] experience in testing Parallels Desktop 7 VMWare Fusion 4

Parallels Desktop was previously recommended by our software development instructors.

Now I sent the 4.0 for Windows version to 51oc.

It should be said that this for Windows version does not find any highlights.

But for Mac, you can't say that.

Let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of these two VMS.

You don't need to go to XX Forum to vote

Parallels is superior to running Windows with excellent 3D performance and file sharing performance (this is one of the ways in which files are exchanged between virtual machines and real machines)

The disadvantage is that the function is too specific. For example, if you do not upgrade Windows 7 SP1, you will not be able to run Windows 7 SP1.

VMware is very stable, and my friends are often reluctant to upgrade the VM and use the old version of the VM to run the new version of the system.

Test Parallels Desktop 7
These new functions are for your reference:

1 gorgeous graphics performance: Improved full-screen support and up to 1 GB of video memory allows you to experience parallels's high speed and performance for 3D and graphics intensive applications.

2. You can use the Mac isight or Facetime HD camera in both OS X lion and Windows applications.

One should be the main reason why I chose parallels. I Don't Want To bootcomp, but I want to run StarCraft II and Call of Duty games.

I just installed

Testing Machine

IMac 27

Intel core2 3.0g

4 GB memory

ATI hd4650

System lion 10.7

Test the virtual system:

Windows 7 es SP1 (Introduction: http://blog.csdn.net/luozhuang/article/details/6780813)

Lion

5-"6 update me to play with StarCraft II

6-"7. How can we achieve 3D acceleration?

To be precise, StarCraft II has not improved much, which may be disappointing...

But you can happily open Call of Duty 4 and call of duty6 ..

Even though I set all material effects to low

Compared with 6, parallels 6 can play Call of Duty. Sometimes, you can only watch the slides...

I think it has greatly improved the call of duty.

I can't test whether your beloved game can be played.

As the official saying goes, the performance of some applications has increased by 45%. Note that this is part...

2. I don't think it is necessary to talk about camera testing. Yes.

VMware I think it is useful for me to provide the remote display function on workstation ..

3D functions are not used in this test.

It is important to test whether they can run the OS X lion function in a virtual machine.

The specific situation is

By default, you can only use the restoration partition on lion to start...

Then you choose to reinstall the lion option for installation.

Of course, the 29.99 USD is indispensable...

And I found that http://blog.csdn.net/luozhuang/article/details/6633677

The DMG downloaded here cannot be used for installation .. It cannot be started at all ..

Amazing...

Here we provide a method that is also my test method.

Use the CD image provided here for Installation

Test result (only lion is tested)

VMware Workstation 8 (Windows) can run well-prepared images without cracking, but cannot create an apple virtual machine.

VMWare Fusion can create or run a ready image.

I have completely tested it, but the problem is the same as in the article...

There is no problem with parallels 7 installation, but there is a problem with the mouse after startup, and I don't know how to solve it.

Conclusion:

I personally think that either VMware or parallels upgrade is of great significance. At least I am very satisfied.

As for who you choose, this is not the problem I should solve.

Sometimes what virtual machines are used in the company often decide your choice.

Comes with a parallels tutorial http://down.51cto.com/data/251206
