Hi, unfortunatly this is one of those quesions which may irritate some, its 
not a what is the best, its more a supported platform before i shell out a 
bundle of cash..

I was testing packer this week on OSX high sierra and Vitualbox, and found 
that there is a known bug with latency causing the characters to display 
like hhhhhttttpppp:::///// when running.
thats ok, i understand why this is happening and the difficulty fixing it. 
Which lead me to looking to purchase Parallels or VMware Fusion, i 
downloaded the demo of parallels 13 and it seems I need the pro version to 
ge this to work which the demo doesn't activate so i couldn't test. VMware 
fusion 10 pro seemed to work. However its not cheap.

So my questions

1) which would mac users recommend specifically for working with packer 
Vmware or Virtualbox
2) Does the basic version of VMware Fusion 10 work with packer or do i need 
the pro version
3) is anyone using Parallels 13 pro and does it have any issues in the same 
way as Virtualbox does (or any others?)

I'm making this purcase specifically relating to Packer as with everything 
else (Docker, Puppet, Vagrant, Terraform) i can use Virtualbox so if i'm 
going to make that purchase i'd just like to be sure

thanks in advance.
