Editorial Review:




Customer Reviews Average Rating:  out of 5 stars
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Now there is no reason not to dump your PC
I was a loyal PC user for nearly twenty years. Five years ago I bought one Mac "for home" and have never looked back. VM Ware has eliminated any residual rationale you might have for sticking with Windows. Think of it like a software nicotine patch.

Some day we may able to stick a wooden stake through the heart of Windows, but for now most of us are stuck with it. VM Ware has developed a way to minimize the pain and aggravation. The software paid for itself multiple times over ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Works great! Run it full screen in new Spaces window.
I agree with the positive reviews, so I won't repeat them.

I use VMware Fusion 2 to run Windows XP Pro SP3 on my MBP. Works great, accept WinXP always loads into the "Administrator" account instead of the user account I set-up. It's really annoying to have to log-out from the Administrator account every single time I load WinXP just to get to my user account.

UPDATE: To fix this, in WinXP in the Run box, type 'control userpasswords2'. You'll need to change the default ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing, indispensable product for the Intel Mac
I just switched to an iMac after using PC's for many years, and VMware's Fusion has been a huge convenience for me. I have a few Windows applications (Quicken, Outlook for it's task functionality) for which I can't find acceptable Mac counterparts. Fusion allows you to run a fully functional Windows instance on the Mac, and it does so seamlessly.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Making Windows better than Windows
It is great to buy a product and have all of your expectations exceeded. I have been pleased with the seamless use of Windows applications along side Mac applications. Crashes of Windows have been significantly reduced.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - First program to crash my Mac in years!
I'm a former software QA tester (alpha and beta) so I have quite a bit of impatience with companies that release software that doesn't work right out of the box on all sorts of machines. A good software company will test their software on multiple configurations. Obviously other users are reporting excellent results, but that doesn't mean everyone will.

I have used Parallels 3.0 since it came out and I was overall satisfied, but found it a little slow. Fusion 2.0 was released and I thought ... Read More
