I am currently trialling both Parallels and Fusion. I installed Fusion first. I am running a bootcamp partition which I also run as a Fusion VM. I can go back and forth with no problem. I am running a Parallels VM that I converted from a small Fusion VM. I am really liking Parallels and would like to create a Parallels VM from my bootcamp partition. Fom all the reading I have done here regarding bootcamp VMs, I am leary to try it. If I create a Parallels bootcamp VM, will I be able to run my bootcamp partition, Parallels bootcamp VM, and Fusion bootcamp VM without any of them making the other unusable?
 
Both Parallels Desktop and Fusion create separate Windows hardware profiles (boot configurations) in order to make Windows comprehend hardware changes between native Boot Camp and Virtual Machine.
So there is a chance that these profiles won't work correctly together, but as you may guess - we haven't tested such usecase ourselves :)
 
I am not really interested in weather or not they work well together. I am concerned that one would change a system such that it would no longer work. I can run Fusion and then load the bootcamp partition standalone with no problem. Is the same true with Parallels?
