I have been running VMWare Fusion 3 and recently installed Parallels 5 on my OSX 10.6.2 MacBook.
Within a short period of using it I decided to delete VMWare Fusion 3 and go with Parallels 5:
- I was able to very easily import the VMWare Fusion virtual machine image into Parallels 5
- I liked the integration options of Parallels with OSX (in particular the fast transition between fullscreen mode and windowed)
- I liked the way Parallels asked for which OS to connect a USB device to when it came active; and
- I particularly liked that Parallels ran XP noticeably faster then VMWare Fusion
