Christian Saborío’s Blog

Via VMBlog, I read about the reply that SWsoft when CNet released their benchmarks of Parallels vs. Fusion (I blogged about it not so long ago). It seems that, according to Baimetov, the tests were not very realistic in terms of the average usage of a virtual machine. He states that it is unrealistic that anyone would ever run Photoshop on a VM in Vista (which does makes sense).

It really is not that difficult to put these guys side by side in terms of real world scenarios, I can give you some right off the top of my head:

-Launch time Visual Studio 2005
-Compiling a big C++ and C# application
-Rendering a multi-nested table in Internet Explorer

Give us scenarios that resemble the day to day tasks that people would actually choose to run a VM (that is, things you cannot do in OS X).

Read rest of the story on at VMBlog.
