VMware Fusion 4 [Old Version]

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

VMWare 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.

If youre running MountAIN LION ON YOUR MAC, you need update 4.1.3 from the vmware site, its free and you can verify it with your purchased copy of fusion 4 key. Excellent product.

I have been using Fusion for about 4 years. I recently bought it again because I bought my son a MacBookAir so he needed it to run a windows software. I cannot say enough about their Tech Support people. Yes, they are in India but they are completely educated on their product unlike the tech support that Adobe software has in India. You will be pleased with this product.

For much of my life, I was a self-described Windows guy. However, in the past few years Ive gotten more into blogging, recording, and video editing. All of these things seemed like theyd be so much better on the Mac. The big challenge for me is that I have some favorite programs that are windows-only.

I found the download from disc much more difficult to handle than the free trial that I used first. It still does not work correctly, I had to load Windows twice to get it to work without freezing up it works but not as well as I had hoped.

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.

I tried this to help hubby do some office work at home, but on our Macs this took up way too much space and memory. It works, but was glitchy and slow.
