Head-to-Head: Parallels Desktop for Mac vs. VMware Fusion:

In the majority of overall averages of our tests, Parallels Desktop is the clear winner running 14-20% faster than VMware Fusion. The one exception is for those that need to run Windows XP, 32-bit on 2 virtual processors, VMware Fusion runs about 10% faster than Parallels Desktop.

My question is, do users notice 14-20% in real life use? My guess is that they don’t.
