    Yes no problem. I have VMware Fusion 3.1 and Parallel Desktop 6 both installed on my Mac. So far no issue detected yet.

    Can you run both of them at the same time?

    No. You can have them installed at the same time, but you cannot have them running at the same time.

    If you wish to link your Boot Camp Partition, you can have both linked, but they cannot be running at the same time.

    Yes, at least for Parallels Desktop 5+ and Ware 3+ and providing that there is enough memory

    Please make a note if somebody sees any problem in it
