VMware Fusion 4 [Old Version]

NOTE: This is the older version!

I am using both Parallels and VMware products on my two Macs. I find VMware way less cumbersome. And Parallels comes out with a new update about every six months, which wouldnt be so bad but they want the user to pay for the upgrade. I went through the entire version 3 of VMware updates without paying a dime. Ill take VMware, thank you.

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.

No real problems except that VMware seem to assume I am a company. Regular updates. It does what I need.

I love this software, I got it to put on my 2011 MBP, and it runs flawlessly on it. I needed a Windows system to run for my job, and this provided me with that.

Pros: 64-bit; run Windows seamlessly; great performance

This is very slow to boot up, and is not intuitive like Apple products are, but it sure does make my Mac look like a PC. I view the latter as a definite negative, but I need Windows for an IRS tax program. That program runs flawlessly on my Mac-running-Windows.

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.

Can it get better? I dont know if it can :) Best tool I have used so far. So nicely it integrates windows apps inside dock, launching windows app, toggle between apps is so intuitive.

Fusion is a great product. This one works well to run windows on Mac.
