This really accentuates the “to each his own” aspect of software. Total
upgrade costs for Fusion over the last 3 years has been a total of $100 ($50
for version 6 to version 7 and $50 for version 7 to version 8, with the upgrade
from version 8 to version 8.5, the current version that is fully compatible
with Sierra, is free). Not too bad for a frequently maintained, solid and
useful piece of software. I do all my Windows development using a virtual
machine running Windows 10 64 bit (on a 12 core Mac Pro, with loads of memory).
It has been superb.

I completely agree with John. I have also used both Parallels and Fusion
and
eventually abandoned them for bootcamp primarily because of the constant
upgrade costs every time there was a system upgrade (either OSX or
Windows).
I use windows infrequently and primarily for code testing and it wasn't
really a problem doing the full on boot.
Then one day one of our IT guys mentioned virtualbox. Theses guys normally
treat Mac software like it's the plague so I was very surprised to find out
about this from them. I was very pleasantly surprised. It works great and
it's free. I actually like it better than both Parallels and Fusion.
Unfortunately, like John, I've not tried to emulate mac inside a mac.
Hasn't been a need of mine but I recall them discussing it in the virtuabox
instruction. As I recall the biggest issue being the legality of the
licensing.
