Stay tuned all week long for more from the conference. As usual, MacTech's report is extensive and conclusive. The report concludes by saying that virtualization software is better than ever - if you've ever needed to run Windows 7 (or even a virtual OS X installation) inside of your Mac operating system, Parallels will help you do it well. But on nearly all other points, Parallels topped the speed charts, including the 3D tests and tests of most commonly used apps on the system. The software ran quicker during some of the virtual machine functions, like starting up or shutting down the virtual Windows machine running inside OS X. VMWare was faster in a few different places, as you can see on the full worksheet on MacTech's site. Of the top tests, says MacTech, Parallels won 60% by a factor of 10% or more, and Parallels Desktop 7 beat VMWare Fusion in nearly 75% of the tests run. Both apps were tested under Windows 7 and, as with previous tests, Parallels stacked up quite well. Its latest benchmarking showdown features virtualization software options Parallels and VMWare Fusion. Before things begin, however, MacTech has been busy benchmarking (as usual). VMware Fusion delivers the best way to run Windows on the Mac, and the ultimate development and testing tool for building apps to run on any platform. The 2011 MacTech Conference starts up here in Los Angeles today, and TUAW will have reports and interviews live from the conference all week.
