VMware Fusion 4 [Old Version]

The best product to use on a MAC. Been a customer since it came out with no problems. My business computers all have this software.

This is a really good product. Lets face it, not all windows products are for macs. This has so many features that it can fit every ones needs. I highly recommend this product. Boot camp isnt very good because you have to restart your computer every time. This program works so smoothly.

As a long time user of VMWare products, I was pleasantly impressed yet again.

Im sure this has been reviewed this way and that so Ill focus on a couple of things that were salient for me.

Ive been a Mac user since 2008 and basically never really run Windows except for the occasional tax or financial program. VM Ware Fusion takes care of that by letting my run windows in a virtual machine on my Mac without partitioning my drive for Boot Camp. Its a bit drive intensive, and isnt the fastest but gets the job done.

First, you need to have your own copy of Windows because this doesnt come with one. So, dig out your old copy or download one from Microsoft.

Includes a USB drive in case you dont have an optical drive. Installation went smoothly, and allows use of Windows with no problems to date.

High hopes and disappointment with this new release. I should have waited longer to upgrade.

VMWare Fusion 4 is a great product. Easy to install and setup, and the performance is great. Im running it on my 2 month old Macbook Pro 15, and barring games, I can run all the Windows-based applications that I used to, including heavy hitters like Visual Studio 2010. Conducting VM management is a breeze (taking snapshots, deleting snapshots, reverting to a previous snapshot, etc). The best feature is the Unity view, in which Fusion will actually run your Windows apps in their own windows on OSX and even place them in the Launchpad window. This allows a more seamless experience, and is really handy if you plan to only use Fusion to run a handful of programs. The other really nice feature is that within the Windows VM, you can access all your files on your Mac, so transferring/sharing files between your Mac and your Windows VM is really easy.

Used VMWare Fusion 4 on the Mac and the integration into the desktop as well as the seamless performance is the best that one can hope for. Very good stability, copy/paste functionality, and graphics. If you own a Mac you should definitely own this product for the occasional Windows program. I found it critical to use for MS Office during work activities for the greatest document exchange compatibility as well as the more robust Outlook version.
