Greater than one weekAfter using VMware Fusion for a few months it has become a regular tool in my web development tasks. A few of the reasons I enjoy working with Fusion is:

> 3 dayThis 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.

> 3 dayAfter resolving some hardware issues (and lack of HDD space) I set about installing VMWare4, which was a breeze, and then Windows XP (one of two legal copies I bought for my kids computers). Theres a USB thumbdrive included for machines that cant read DVDs. Very nice touch.

> 3 dayVMWare works flawlessly. It lets me run Windows 7 programs on my Mac, just like I would run any other Mac program. No more need to reboot my computer to switch operating systems like I would have to do previously. And no need to jump back and forth between computers during my workday. This saves me time and increased my productivity.

> 3 dayThis product worked as advertised to enable most Windows apps to run on Mac OSX Lion. Its a bit complex to install, but once you get it working, most Windows apps will work.

> 3 dayThis software allows you to run windows on your macintoch giving you a virtual PC. Its ok if you just want to run windows occasionally but if you want to run windows alot you are better off just getting a pc cause it tends to be slow.

> 3 dayA 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.
