"Parallels' annual update to its eponymous virtual machine software is out today, looking a bit smarter, and promising to be even more seamless than before. A new Coherence mode sees Windows applications skinned with a Mac-like scheme. Dialogues look like Windows dialogues, and there's easier keyboard mapping - so your Windows app can use Apple-C/X/V to cut and paste, rather than Ctrl-C/X/V."

I don't want this to get into a war over which is better or worse, it tends to come down to a personal decision. If your h/w isn't running it nicely, that doesn't mean it's a no show for everyone else.
Luckily you can try both and see for yourself.
I've been using //'s for a long time now, since it started and have to say version 4 was close to perfect.
We've tried Fusion, and though it was a nice product, I've always preferred //'s, but again, just personal preference.
I am sure people have had problems with it, so to them, yes, stick with Fusion I guess...
I'm currently running Ubuntu 9.10 under //'s version 5 (wobbly windows and all) and find it's very nice to use
I've played around with VirtualBox too, which is a very nice product, esp. as it is free :-) I think one problem VB has is that it doesn't do USB very well. It also didn't do the wobbly windows in Ubuntu very well either, but... that was on my 3yo iMac (which I am using now), maybe VB's fine on newer h/w.
Anyway, my advice would be take //'s 5 for a spin, it's free to test. Aero works now, it has multi monitor support and Ubuntu works a treat with it (so far)...
