Summary: Life saver!
Comment: I bought a new mac and found out a few weeks later that we needed windows for school. I was going to buy windows and put it on bootcamp, until someone told me about fusion. It works great - I've been using it for a month now and have had NO problems with either my mac or the windows virtual machine. Also it was very easy to install. I am basically a computer dummy and it was easy for me to install and work. Another plus is that it saved me from also having to buy office for my windows side. Since I can see both mac and windows at the same time using fusion I can take notes on word/look at a powerpoint on the mac side while I'm doing school stuff on the PC side. I recommend it highly to anyone who is in my same position needing PC for school or work!

Summary: Beta 2.0b2
Comment: The VMware Fusion latest beta version is working real well on my OS Leopard MacPro. The 1.1.3 version did not meet my needs as I could not get the program that I needed to get to run, and created a error on the program I was trying to run (WinAPRS). I re-download the beta and it is working fine for me now. The WX data is getting to this program fine too. I am using Keyspan 4 port serial and I wish I could have Mac control of one or two of these port on the Mac side and the other two on the Windows XPpro side. I am sure that is asking allot.
I guess the other option is to get another serial port adapter, but my 4 port USB is filled up too. I am using the front port for my (old) DC2080 Panasonic digital camera USB to serial adapter(CablesToGo) and maybe add the exta adapter there, for the Mac side to use. My old Electronic Workbench software is working well here also. Anyway, I look to your finished product version of 2.0 and thanks for the hard work, that I a sure it is. //.. Joe Redd WA8SIE

Summary: VMware Fusion
Comment: This software is very good. I was pleasantly surprised as to how quickly it installed and the short leaning curve for using it. It runs all my windows applications very smoothly.I would recommend this product for anyone who needs both OS's on their system.

Summary: Incredible Software!
Comment: I have been running Fusion with XP Pro on my IMac for over a month now and all I can say is WOW! It's a breeze to setup and install and runs my PC applications flawlessly. Running both OS simultaneously is very convenient and I have not noticed a performance drop off when doing so. No need to reboot between the two OS as with boot camp which can be annoying/inconvenient at times. Similarly, file sharing between Leopard/XP Pro is easy and the overall stability of Fusion is amazing on the Mac hardware. For the flexibility this software affords Mac users I'm shocked how inexpensive Fusion costs. Great Product and literally a steal at this price. Fusion allows you to have the best of both worlds. In other words, you can have your cake and eat it too:)
