Virtual Box vs. VMware vs. Parallels


i've gotten copy of windows 7, i'm not sure virtual machine load. has used these three? virtual box free download has in it's favor. need ability drag , drop files 1 desktop other not installing microsoft office on vm (i have on os x).

i'm new appreciated. i'm using work, 'smart card' drivers work in windows.

thanks,
james
 

i've used vmware (since before osx on other systems run solaris) that's why still use it.

recommend trying virtualbox first , see if expectations , if happy stay since it's free.

vmware has 30 day free trial, try out if not happy virtualbox
