I would like to echo these comments for VMWare Fusion, as well.

From my point of view, the big advantages are that the USB system seems 
to be more stable and that VMWare is integrating graphics support much 
more quickly.  VMWare Fusion 2.X seems to be 90+% DirectX 9 compatible 
and should probably close the gap the rest of the way in the next 
release or two.
