Replace MacFUSE for OSXFUSE in Paralllels Desktop

MacFUSE is a dead project. It's opensource successors are FUSE4X and OSXFUSE, they both offer better Lion compatibility and 64bit.
Tuxera's MacFUSE is more updated than MacFUSE itself but the developer has released a last version and turning his attention to OSXFUSE/FUSE4X ( http://groups.google.com/group/macfuse/browse_thread/thread/7d44fb2335c0dd99 ).

OSXFUSE has the added benefit of having a compatibility layer for MacFUSE, also, Erik Larsson from Tuxera is part of the project.

Parallels, it's time to replace MacFUSE.

FUSE4X project: http://fuse4x.org/

 

Another important issue is that MacFUSE's built-in uninstaller fails silently and doesn't actually uninstall MacFUSE, this happens on 10.6.8 and also probably in Lion, Parallels should take care of this!

 

Just discovered that Parallels 7 actually doesn't use MacFUSE, it uses a modified version called prlufs.fs. Unfortunately, the upgrade process doesn't remove MacFUSE and neither MacFUSE own installer (fails silently, doesn't actually delete the files).
