			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;d been using <a href="http://www.parallels.com/en/products/desktop/">Parallels 3.0</a> for the past few weeks to run <a href="http://developers.sun.com/sxde/">SXDE 2</a> on my MacBook Pro, but started having problems when I upgraded to Solaris Nevada build 69&#8211; the X server wouldn&#8217;t start any more, and I just couldn&#8217;t get it going at all.I took the opportunity to try out the <a href="http://www.vmware.com/beta/fusion/">VMware Fusion Beta</a> instead, and so far it&#8217;s the clear winner.</p>
<p>It does feel a trifle slower than Parallels (even with debugging turned off), and its snapshots aren&#8217;t as flexible, only allowing one per VM.  But its VM tools for Solaris are way ahead of Parallels&#8217; non-existent offering&#8211;  clock sync, on-the-fly desktop resize, copy/paste/drag+drop from Solaris &lt;-&gt; OS X&#8230; nice.  (Haven&#8217;t figured out if shared folders are supposed to work on Solaris yet or not&#8211; the settings are available which suggest they should, but the folders I&#8217;ve nominated don&#8217;t show up anywhere obvious, so I&#8217;m guessing they don&#8217;t.)</p>
<p>Assuming it&#8217;s just as happy at full screen on my Sun 24&#8243; display when I get into the office, I&#8217;ll be sticking in the VMware camp for now.</p>
<p><em><strong>Edit</strong></em>:  Oh, and did I mention that Solaris sound and networking work out-of-the-box on VMware too&#8230;?</p>
