Mar 21, 2011 It relies on Microsoft.NET, which was somehow 'broken' by Parallels. The virtual machine is created through BootCamp first. We then install Parallels on the MacOS X side (10.6.4-5 Leopard) and have it access the BootCamp partition. I use Parallels to develop.NET on a mac all day. The future of Windows on mac is a bit hazy right now though so don't expect it to be a super long term solution.

Virtualization, who doesn’t like to talk about virtualization? No one I say. So you have 3 choices for virtualization when running on a Mac for your Windows VM’s, Parallels Desktop, VMWare Fusion and VirtualBox.
Over at TekRevue they did a great performance write-up comparing all three platforms and their comparative performance. Here I’m not really going to talk about outright performance, for that just go read that article, they did a far better job then I could.
Here is the TLDR, Parallels with a Windows VM on the Mac is a clear performance winner in startup times, graphics performance and ease of use.
But there is more to a virtualization platform then just pure performance. I’ve used both Parallels (versions 6 to 8) and VMWare Fusion 6 and 7. Besides emulation (i.e. the Xamarin Android Player and Genymotion) I haven’t, nor do I know anyone using VirtualBox for a mainline development VM. So I won’t be speaking about Virtual Box, it may be good but for our usage scenario there isn’t a lot of people doing it and thus when stuff goes wrong you can be SOL.

Visual Studio and.NET enhance support for parallel programming by providing a runtime, class library types, and diagnostic tools. These features, which were introduced in.NET Framework 4, simplify parallel development.
Pros | Cons | |
Parallels | Clear winner in perceived and actual performance | More consumer grade/focus |
Easy maintenance and optimization | Lack of deep configuration options | |
Great integration with the Mac (Host OS) | Lack of other OS support | |
VMWare Fusion | Great support for a vast number of Operating Systems | Slower performance and lower DirectX support |
Deep configuration and tweaking options (i.e. Hyper-V) | Not as frequently updated (Compared to Parallels) | |
Lots of Enterprise’y features (Migrations, Encryption, Sharing, etc) | Sometimes complicated settings and options |
So which one do I use? Currently I use VMWare Fusion 7. I made the switch to Fusion from Parallels during Parallels 8. During that time I felt that Fusion supported Retina displays better and it allowed for more configuration and tweaking of the virtual machine. I’m also a fan of how Fusion gives access to the VM through their menu. It’s far more compact and powerful then the corresponding Parallels one.
But you can’t go wrong with either choice in my opinion, they both work well. If you need the fastest performance you can muster or need the latest graphics support then Parallels is your best option, if you need rock solid stability and a deep field of configuration, tweaking and OS options then go Fusion.
In the context of what we are looking for virtualization for VMWare Fusion seems more popular. Xamarin uses it (all of the Xamarin University instructions have been on Mac with Fusion) and a fair amount of developers in the space seem to be following that same configuration. The benefit here is that the more people using that config the less problems there should be and the more help if an issue is encountered.

I use Mac as my primary OS, but I often work on ASP.NET MVC projects. I want to use the same file system for them, and not virtual OS image.
The reason for that is because I want to integrate the projects with Mac OS (i.e. upload them to the server via Transmit, a Mac OS FTP app).
But the problem here is that ASP.NET can't really work with projects located on network drives. So when I try to run a site (either with VS 2010's built in web server or with IIS 7), I get
Error Summary HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.
And this is a common mistake but no solution that I could find worked for me.
This can be a hard drive, a solid-state drive (SSD), a thumb drive, or a USB stick—an 8GB thumb drive is perfect. /el-capitan-dmg-bootable-installer-torrent-download.html.
If I create a project on Parallel's virtual C: drive, everything works fine.
P.S. I hear that VMWare has better network drives support, but is it as smooth as Parallels? Parallels 6 runs extremely fast for me, and my Mac Mini doesn't even get warm with VS 2010 and several other Mac apps open.
P.P.S. I also heard about using DropBox and/or Windows Live Mesh. Is clouding a good idea in this case?
Thank you
