Parallels Desktop

Imini reviewed on 13 Nov 2009

I think this round goes to Parallels!

I have compared Parallels Desktop 5 to Fusion 3 and my findings are:
- PD5 feels faster in Vista/Windows 7- virtual machines load and shut down faster, windows scroll smoother, suspend and restore is much faster, videos playback and flash on web pages are smoother
- PD5 supports Compiz in Ubuntu! (Fusion 3 does not)
- Ubuntu 9.10 works very well (Fusion 3 has problems with sound and other things)
- PD5 has many little options not present in Fusion 3 - like what happens after VM shutdown (keep window open, close window or quit PD) etc.
- Unity in Fusion looks nicer than Coherence in PD - has nice rounded corners
- both are stable, no problems whatsoever

Overall version 5 seems to be very much improved. Definitely worth trying before upgrading to Fusion 3.

Great app! Often updated to support changes in browsers.

Very good emulator - good interface and comatibility.

Google Earth

Warning - version 5 forces you to install some kind of "Google Software Update". You MUST accept it, otherwise GE will not start. It is supposed to be "safer than downloading files from the internet yourself". Yeah, right :) Back to version 4.

Speed Download

imini commented on 26 Apr 2009

I use SpeedDownoad and like it - best download manager on OS X.
I am missing one important feature I had on Getright (Windows app) many years ago - mirrors support. If I add the same file form different url, it just starts a second download, instead of adding a mirror and possibly new segment to existing download. I would also like more control over segments - to see them visually, be able to control the number of segments and have segments form different mirrors.

VirtualBox

imini reviewed on 19 Apr 2009

Very interesting, fast, ahead of the competition in some areas (compiz in Linux kind of works). Behind in some others (lack od DriectX).
But also very unstable and unreliable - hangs, kernel panics, VM sudden exits, no pointer in compiz, graphics refresh problems, etc.
So far staying with VMWare witch is is visibly slower, but rock solid. But I will try new VirtualBox versions and observe the progress.

Second review of the same app. But somehow all reviews have disappeared for some time (at least they where not there on 13th of Feb).
Anyway, Skim is worth 2 x 5 stars :)

I don't like the changes in 2.49a... It now requires install and goes into OS X too deeply.

ChronoSync

imini commented on 29 Nov 2007

It's a very good application, but I DO NOT like the new installer. Dragging the app to Applications folder is the right way. This is a change in the wrong direction.
