Parallels Vs Vbox
Posted: 14. Aug 2008, 22:51
Greetings one and all!
I have two questions. I am currently looking at using VBox to replace parallels. I have an image already in place though and really, rebuilding it would be a giant pain since I have some special software that I'd have to have re-shipped to me to re-install.
So my questions are these:
1) Is there/How is the conversion from a parallels image to one that Vbox can use?
2) if you had to choose one or the other (and cost is not the primary reason for your choice) which would you choose and why?
So far, Vbox looks pretty good and seems to meet most of my needs. However, I'm curious what other people think before I put a large amount of effort into re-tooling the image.
Thanks!
