    A long time user of VMware Fusion 3.x, I was hoping all would be well with my upgrade to OS X Lion. In fact it was seamless. But then VMware immediately had their Fusion 4.x offering to take advantage of tighter integration of your Windows 7 client. I took the leap of faith in VMware products, and upgraded to Fusion 4.x, and the whole thing went without a hitch. I had read prior to instalation of version 4, that version 3 had to be put in the trash, which I did, simply by dragging the version 3.x app from the /Applications folder into the trash. Then I inserted the instalation disc into my iMac, and to my surprise, version 4 comes with a specific icon to push if you are upgrading from version 3. After the rapid instalation took place, I booted my existing clients, and was relieved to see everything was intact, and Fusion 4 recognized that VMware tools needed to be updated on the client, and proceeded to perform that upgrade without any surprises. Everything was seamless, and just worked the first time. Now my client machines are treated as simply another desktop in Lion, when I run them full screen, which is my normal habit. This means you can use the swipe gesture to get to your Windows clients. Could not be more simple. Ive yet to run into any issues, which is more than I can say for OS X Lion, which, as well known breaks many older applications built for pre-Intel macs.

    I upgraded from fusion 3 and wish I hadnt. Outside of faster boot times, I cant tell the difference in performance, but lost USB support and it no longer automatically releases the mouse when you try to move out of the VMWare window.

    I use a MacBook Pro and had installed VMware v3.0 a couple of years ago to run XP and some non-Mac software. It worked reasonably well but was generally slow but acceptable. I installed VMWare 4.0 and its a real DOG. My McAfee virus software no longer works. Just an empty white box appears when the software is selected. Additionally, Windows Update no longer will connect to the update site. The application I use under XP (the reason I first bought VMware) now is so painfully slow that it is unusable. Overall, if things are working and you want them to continue to keep working, dont upgrade.

    I tried multiple times to get this to install on my macbook air, but while it seemed to recognize the USB key, it would not install the product on my machine. I ended up getting the program elsewhere, and it installed properly, so there must have been something wrong with the USB I received.

    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.

    I was a very happy user of Fusion 3, but, have found VMWare Fusion 4 to be not as reliable or robust as version 3 was. Since upgrading, Ive had problems with my mouse cursor disappearing, as well as getting into a mode where my Mac-side Apps wont launch properly. The only thing that seems to fix this is closing Fusion and rebooting the host Mac. The problem is most likely to occur if Im doing other processor-or-disk-intensive work while booting a VM. (Which can take a while for Windows OSs.) I did not have these problems with Fusion 3.

    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.
