It's just a Mac thing. Virtual box flies on my Quadcore.

Sorry that Mac let you down again...

Quote Use Parallels, be happy:

Oracle's VirtualBox has lots of serious bugs - https://www.virtualbox.org/report/1

Folks, you get what you pay for. Parallels is proven, supported, and is #1 in the category. Just adminit it, use it, and be happy!

Yes, parallels is better in some respects. Depending on WHAT you need it for. Parallels makes it very very easy to integrate with your mac. Virtualbox makes it a bit harder, but im sure it can be done. Im going with virtual box because I need to have windows, but I do NOT use windows often so I really don't need the integration that parallels provides. if I do, I will buy parallels.
