I like parallels coherence mode better, but if you create a macOS VM you will see:
#Vmware fusion black screen windows 7 install
I then test install software and use the VMs to mimic/recreate issues that my users report to me.Ībsolutely yes with Parallels. I do use VM for business in the following way: I create a VM of each Windows version I do support work for. Other than having a few folders set up for sharing files into the VMs, I don't want ANY features or menus or even "looks and feels" to bleed through. I create "pure" VMs in that I don't want features from the host OS to bleed through into the VMs themselves. Notes on my use: I do not play games in VMs, except I did do test runs of some legacy Windows XP compatible games in a VMWare instance back a few years ago when I first got Fusion. I'm back on the "spend money only if really need be" plan, so I'd have to really be sold on VMWare to pay for it. That is because it is free and I hear it is good enough. If I had to choose something currently, I would probably test Virtualbox first. I had plenty of advice about Parallels from coworkers who deployed it in our corporate environment though. I did consider both Parallels and Virtualbox at the time of my purchase decision, but did not test either one of them. I have not studied the situation with Parallels upgrades that some find distasteful. Of course, I don't like having to pay for upgrades for it any more than for anything else. I have been using VMWare Fusion for the last few years and I really don't have anything bad to say about it at all. If you just want to spin up Linux VMs for server-side/web development, virtualbox is perfect for the job (although, in that case, you might also want to check out Docker). It lacks the performance, polish and slick MacOS integration of the others but it might get the job done.
If you just have one or two annoying bits of obscure windows software that you need from time-to-time, but that aren't your "daily driver" apps, try VirtualBox first. The corresponding features in Fusion also require their "Pro" edition, but at least that's a one-off, price difference, upgrade. Last straw was moving some of the networking options into the (subscription only) "Pro" edition.
#Vmware fusion black screen windows 7 upgrade
I could cope with a (not too expensive) upgrade every 2-3 years (seemed like it needed upgrading after every second OS X upgrade) but it looks more and more like they're moving towards subscriptions. I'm a Parallels user who will probably be switching to Fusion at the next forced upgrade because of Parallels' licensing model.
