- Vmware Fusion is greatI love this product, and the fact that it allows me to run windows on my mac is great. It does not slow my laptop down at all. I would recommended this to anyone that has a mac to go ahead and buy the program that way if a program only runs on windows you have the capacity to do so.

- S-L--O---O-----O----WI'm not completely new to Mac, but many of my Windows PC apps are not available for Mac. I thought this would be the answer to make my conversion to Mac affordable and productive. So far, in the past 4 days since I created my virtual Win machine (VMWare v. 2 - the product I purchased on Amazon is v. 1, and you get a free downlaed update to v.2) on my MacBook Pro, 4 GB ram, 2.5 Ghz, I have a grand total of 1.2 hours of actual productivity.

- Simply the best way to run Windows on a MacThere are times when, against your better instincts, you must run some Windows application on a Mac. You could use Apple's boot camp feature, but that requires rebooting the computer. VMware Fusion allows you to simultaneously run Windows and Mac OS X on the same computer, and you can switch back and forth between the two, the same way as you would between Safari and Firefox. Absolutely amazing, and works flawlessly!

- It's okayIt's okay. It allows me to run Windows xp as a window in on my Mac desktop, but I sometimes have problems with VMware Tools. I have 3 printers connected to my Mac and sometimes VMware Fusion allows me to use all three, but this morning, it said I was only connected to one printer. Also, when I plug a flash drive in, it shows on my Mac desktop, but not on Windows. That's a problem because I use Windows to run Quicken and it doesn't allow me to back it up to a flash drive.
