Fusion w/ no crashes

Sorry about the title, I meant Parallels....

I had Fusion but the 2.0 upgrade killed it's performance on the MBA.

With Parallels if you do not have the 3d video on it will not crash, in my experience.

This may be a deal killer for gamers, but as an office (GIS mapping + Nortel softphone) user I have had no problems at all.

I run it in coherence mode all the time with 768mb RAM allocated to the VM and have no OSX slowdown at all except when booting or shutting down the VM. I also rarely shut the VM down, I just suspend/restore it.
