I have found x5 to work just fine, but turning off automatic scanning of the time machine backup volume is mandatory, otherwise time machine just won't work. Had to learn of this quirk through apple discussion groups, not Intego.

I too had an issue with the initial SD! erase and copy of my clone (145 gig) taking forever (4+ hours). I did not think to disable automatic scanning (I did disable time machine though).

A script to do that would be a great idea - hope someone better at it than me could do the job and post it here.

As to parallels vs. Fusion look for my posts (search for "fuzzydog") in apple's discussion's. I personally much prefer fusion. It seems more stable, and the virtual machine boots much faster, they have extensive on line help. It is not visually as appealing as parallels in the non-windowed full screen mode, but that isn't critical to me. Also, some earlier parallels releases have been unstable for me. I only use a virtual machine to access microsoft live for web site maintenance and to run a document index and search program in windows that has no mac equivalent (dtSearch), and some legal research software that doesn't exist in the mac world.
