I don’t think anyone on the forum has ever mentioned Oracle’a VirtualBox. Several years ago I abandoned Parallels for Fusion finding it much less prone to compatibility issues and unexplained slow downs. I used Fusion for a while and one day received a demo VM for a SQL/Web based Facilities Management application. The VM used VirtualBox and after playing with it for a while really liked it and made the switch for all my VM needs.
The best part is that it is free. Oracle updates it regularly and I find it much easier to setup and maintain than Fusion or Parallels. I especially like the way it handles networking. I often have to move a vm from one machine to another in different networks. Mac to Mac, Windows to Windows,, Windows to Mac. Redoing the network setup each time I found to be pretty easy. All my VMs run various flavors of Windows. I have not tried creating a VM running Mac OS on either a mac or a windows machine. A quick google search hints that it may a bit more involved than creating a Windows VM. Given that it is free, wouldn’t hurt to give it a try before jumping into Fusion or Parallels. I do not think you will be disappointed… https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads John > On Sep 24, 2016, at 9:15 AM, Ortwin Zillgen <[email protected]> wrote: > >> So, is Fusion preferred over Parallels for Mac OS virtualization? > > I prefer Parallels over Fusion, most of the time. > 4D does just fine in Parallels and Windows 10. > > Virtualising SnowLeopard to run v2004 and older does work better in Fusion. > > > > Regards > O r t w i n Z i l l g e n > --------------------------------------------- > <mailto:[email protected]> <http://dddd.mettre.de/wp/?4713> > <feed://dddd.mettre.de/dddd.xml> <https://twitter.com/Ozett> > member of developer-network <http://www.die4Dwerkstatt.de> > > ********************************************************************** > 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) > FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html > Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html > Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech > Unsub: mailto:[email protected] > ********************************************************************** ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
