OS X: Fusion vs. Parallels

I won't go into the differences or comparisons between the two. I'm simply posting about my own personal experiences. I had been pretty happy with Parallels since immediately after I switched to Mac. It allowed me access to Windows to do anything I needed to do while booted into OS X with the exception of playing games- which I was ok with, and expected. However, recently Parallels has been acting up- kernel panics, not able to drag and drop files between the two OS's, the Windows "window" was not dynamically resizing when I drug its border, etc. So, since Fusion is out of beta now, I decided to give it another go. I've been pleased. All of my aforementioned Parallels issues are resolved by using Fusion. As a bonus, I gained a little speed when starting Windows as well as shutting down. I still reboot into Boot Camp for gaming, but nothing else.
