Better than Parallels?

I use Parallels, does VMWare have any major advantages?

I got a Mac after both Parallels and VMWare Fusion were both well-established, and after a bit of research I decided on Fusion, mainly because reviews I read said it was a bit faster. It's also kind of nice that it's compatible with VMWare images and VMware on other OSes, although that's really not a biggie for me.

On the whole the speed difference probably isn't worth making the switch; however for new buyers I'd tend to recommend VMWare. I'm quite satisfied with it.
