There’s a small caveat there, at least with suspending.
Suspending, waking, booting, and shutting down were all quickest in Parallels, too. I found the Aero effects worked very smoothly in Windows 7 on my Mac Pro. Parallels is alone in its support for OpenGL 2.1 in Linux and Windows 7. More usefully, you’ll also be able to run Linux programs that require OpenGL acceleration. In addition, OpenGL acceleration is included in Linux guests, enabling full visual effects (such as windows that deform when dragged) in Linux systems such as Ubuntu 9.10. Like Fusion 3, Parallels 5 now supports Windows Aero in Windows 7, and also includes OpenGL 2.1 acceleration in both XP Pro and Windows 7 (Fusion only supports OpenGL 2.1 in Windows XP Pro). For someone expecting a standard Windows interface after installation, this can be disconcerting. Parallels also defaults to booting Windows virtual machines in the fully-integrated Coherence mode, where the Windows desktop vanishes, and Windows’ windows are intermingled with those of OS X. As someone who has personally experienced Windows malware infections, total integration is not something I recommend for most virtual machine users, and yet it’s the default behavior in Parallels.

More troubling is that, when creating a new Windows virtual machine, the default settings are for full integration of the Mac OS and the Windows guest-the default even sets the Windows’ user folder to the Mac’s Users folder. There’s no way to avoid this, so if you find the aliases useless (as I do), you have to manually remove them each time you create a virtual machine. First, every time you create a new virtual machine, Parallels creates an alias to that virtual machine on your OS X Desktop. There are a couple aspects of installing guest OSes that could be improved.
