Mr Crabapples has commented on his experiences of running Windows on a Mac?

Mr C is using Fusion, whilst I have been using Parallels. Most of the time I run Windows it is usually just to show people how I can run Windows on my MacBook. Why is this? I suppose it comes down to performance. When Parallels is running, it causes my lovely MacBook pro to limp along like an asthmatic ant carrying some heavy shopping. So I tend to look for ways to avoid running Windows. For example I put up with Entourage, when Outlook is SO much better. Perhaps if the performance issues went away I would begin to virtualize more? Who knows.

Maybe I should follow Mr C’s lead and download the Fusion 30 day demo…
