Nice vid. I noticed that Visual Studio has smooth scrolling in Parallels but any idea how to get this with vmfusion?

[manojpallakki]

How can I contact you?
I have some doubts regarding parallels...
Please help me out ..

[OscarLachapel]

Have you created a full tutorial on how to install VMFusion? Please share!

[ssswayzzz]

what about higher graphic cores on the m3 max and 36 gb of ram will it run well ?

[theontologist]

In my experience, Parallels machines (both Windows and Linux) are better optimized by default, to be fast and smooth. VMWare is much slower and more sluggish without a lot of manual configuration.

[ericoak]

Which one do you recommend? VMFusion or Parallel?

[theontologist]

Given that VMWare as raised its prices by 10 times (1000 percent) for corporate customers, should we trust that they won't charge a fortune for Pro after they've used the free giveaway to put Parallels out of business?

[theontologist]

Getting DX12 games to work on Macs seems so complicated.

First, Microsoft and Qualcomm are making their new hardware customized for DX12, while multiple levels of emulation have to happen on Macs.

Second, Microsoft and Qualcomm's new ARM hardware locks out Nvidia and AMD, at least for the time being. So Windows on ARM doesn't have great support for games needing those GPUs. And that makes things even harder on ARM Macs.

Apple's Game Porting Toolkit is aimed at porting DX12 game to Apple Metal 3, and with some hacking you can make it emulate some DX12 games now -- but Apple isn't promising that it will always allow that.

I use both and parallels runs more smoothly than VMware

[siggiprendergast]

i love how every single one of these videos is a parallels ad lmfao

[PowNyTales]

Hey thank you for this review!
The most ugly thing about it, I would need to make an Abo for that half of a software. That’s brazen^^

[masimyildiz]

I don't trust parallels, they are transmitting your personal data to their servers, I experienced it.
I have no idea about data safety on vmware.

[TheGamersRace]

Unless parallels has a one time purchase option, and it makes sense, I doubt I'll be using it.
