Forum moved for your convenience. Please note that in this forum, you'll find a lot of discussion by people who have used one, the other, both and both together to compare them. That's why we have this forum.

I did have a problem having both installed concurrently when Fusion was in its RC stage. My iMac would kernel panic whenever I connected to it via AFP from another Mac. Disabling either Parallels' or Fusion's network kexts solved the problem.

The reason I posted it in the OS X forum and not the alternate OS forum is because I wanted to know if OS x could handle them both on the start up HD - not which one is better....

Why wouldn't it? They're just applications.
