5 out of 5 stars Runs everything I need   June 12, 2010
Paul R. Prescott (Texas)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

After being a PC user since the 80's, I decided to switch to an iMac. There were several critical PC programs I needed to run and I first tried Parallels Desktop. Despite many attempts I could not get Quicken 2010 installed. And, as far as I am concerned, there is no equivalent program for Apple computers (I tried many).

A friend suggested Fusion so I bought it. SUCCESS! Runs Quicken with no problems, plus 2 other programs I must have from the PC that Desktop would not load.

To me Fusion also seems easier to use. The Unity mode is outstanding.

At one point Fusion "forgot" my internet connection, but 5 minutes looking for help on the Fusion website and the problem was solved.

Fusion did seem to run a bit slower than Desktop, but with Version 3.1 speed is no longer a problem.

I can't compare it to Boot Camp - never tried it, because I want both Mac and PC programs running at the same time.

In my humble opinion, Fusion is the best. Highly recommended!



5 out of 5 stars Solid   June 8, 2010
F. Soriano (San Diego, California USA)
I have an iMac with an i7 processor, OS X 10.6, and a Boot Camp installation of Windows XP. VMWare Fusion runs XP almost without flaw. In an age where it's almost impossible to find solid software products, Fusion is a breath of fresh air. It's only drawback is its speed, but if I need to run CPU intensive games or graphics programs, I simply run XP through Boot Camp at power-up. Excellent product!


5 out of 5 stars VMware Fusion 3 ... Amazing   June 7, 2010
G. Heron (Cape May NJ)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

VMware Fusion 3 is everything it is advertised to be. Of course it helps to have the most upgraded iMac to be able to seamlessly run OSX 10.6.3 Snow Leopard and Windows 7 at the same time. I use Architectural Home Designer 9 for floor plans etc., and I am able to navigate between both OSX and Windows 7 as if windows 7 is literally just an apps. window. VMware has rewritten the "virtual" rule book for OS within OS applications. The support for questions has been great too. Big fan.
