Anyone experienced with Fusion or Parallels?

I've been using bootcamp to use some Windows apps, but I find more situations where I would like to go back and forth. I haven't seen much bad written about either program but was curious if anyone has used them.

The online Mac magazine I work for reviewed Parallels a couple of years ago, but not the other one.

I have no opinion on any of them because I don't use them.

Here's a How To they did on running Windows on a Mac, but it's also a couple of years old:

My son, the web design major, has Fusion on his MacBook Pro, and reports that he likes it. "It's easy to use, install and everything. The cool thing about it is that you can run PC apps in a separate window, the icon is in the dock, and it just integrates really well."
