I don't do any work with CAD programs, but I know that Photoshop CS3 runs just fine from within VMware and I agree, do a clean install whenever possible.

Far from it, I get a lot of visual problems with Unity in my Macbook Unibody. Black spots appear in some applications, etc. None of these problems I've had with Parallels, which works fine in Coherence, window mode and fullscreen. Parallels has a very good support, and allows me to run smoothly visual studio, autocad and other heavyweights. Anyway, always try a fresh install. I tried importing a vm from vmware, but the result was not good at all. It was kind of crappy, to tell you the truth. Well.. the Coherence mode of Parallels is great, it works great.
