I have used Parallels 2.5 almost since it came out and have always viewed it as a necessary evil because I am not a Windows fan. I use it for Quickbooks, Microsoft Street and Trips, and a little Access database (and Solitare). The new Fusion product came out, claiming to be less of a drag on system resources--cpu usage, etc. and while there may be a percent or so difference, I don't really see anything compelling there. Performance, startup, restore etc. seem mostly similar to P2.5
Parellels 3 was originally met with indifference at best, but the long list of supposed improvements in build 5160 make it look pretty good. Unfortunately the list is not quanitative, saying things like "Significant CPU usage improvement" etc. I come here and see that 5160 seems to have introduced its own problems.
Is there anyone here who is delighted with their migration from 2.5 to 3, and which build of 3 seems to be the best? Like others, I don't like the sense of being duped by developers that release digit upgrades for a fee, but which are really just maintenance releases.
