Sarah, I have both VMWare Fusion and Parallels 3.0. I was a heavy parallels user but when I begun my GSoC work, Haiku would not run under parallels, so I migrated to VMWare Fusion. I bought both during their beta period so I paid less than 100 USD for both products.
Both are very very good. I feel that VMWare uses less CPU, parallels appears frozen more often, but I use them for different OSes anyway. I run linux and haiku (linux 64bits) under VMWare and windows under parallels. They all have similar features, but I'd think I'd stay with VMWare for now.
