Astonishing if true. I might just switch again if it is— I started with Parallels but tired of their abysmal customer service and switched to VMWare. VMWare’s customer service isn’t much to write home about but Parallels’ was in a class of its own. Still, for this kind of performance increase... I’d switch. I truly would.
That's gotta be BS. I have yet to see -any- virtualization scheme that can run a VM (Parallels, VMware, etc.) faster than on native hardware (BootCamp). Even ESX, a totally stripped down mini-Linux with no USB support, etc. for big server use, doesn't make that claim.
Somebody in their marketing department is doing some "creative" testing to come up with this data, assuming there is any. I call BS, except maybe for some special cases they manipulated so they could make this claim.
If in fact Apple's BootCamp drivers are so slow that VM drivers beat them, is speed them up. Yet, the fastest native Windows machines have often been MacBooks in BootCamp, over the past few years. I don't think it's a problem.
Anyway, it's impossible for a virtual machine to run faster than on native hardware, since you're going through more software layers. So this has to be some special case crap argument.
This one's gonna look awful silly when it's debunked...
