VMware Fusion 4 [Old Version]

For years I have had to work with folks who demanded that their employees use Windoz. Thanks to VMware, I was able to run Windows XP on my Mac, as well as Ubuntu. I successfully used security devices and my Mac to gain access to an all-Windoz network, including getting into storage servers as just another Microsoft-based employee. This is an excellent way to avoiding the purchase of specialized hardware when you need to run another operating system. I especially liked the ability to click and drag files from one desktop to another, such as from my Mac desktop to my Windows XP desktop, which allowed me to create documents in the Mac environment, using Mac tools, then save as a .doc file and drag it over to XP to share with other XP users. Great 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.

I had trouble transferring by system and had to purchase another copy of windows because my Dell did not give me a copy... the main reason I am moving on to Mac. Other than that, product is working well. No complaints except my clock is not updating; something that I think is my problem...not fusion 4.

Ive been a longtime Parallels user (after being a longtime VirtualPC user), and I have to say that VMWare Fusion has some significant advantages:

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.

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.

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

Im an automotive mechanic. One of my diagnostic tools is Windows-only and connects to vehicles via a USB interface. Booting the Macbook into Bootcamp for diagnostic sessions was a hassle.

This is a very fast and worthwhile version of VMware Fusion, which has consistently provided great VM capabilities for Macs to run Windows and thus Windows programs.

After 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.
