Fusion allows Intel-based Macs to run x86 'guest' operating systems, such as Windows, Linux, NetWare and Solaris as virtual machines simultaneously with Mac OS X as the 'host' operating system using a combination of … More Edit

vmware
Running on a 4GB Macbook Pro and it's phenomenal. Gets all that Windows stuff out of the way (including connecting to the office with OpenVPN) and allows me to do all my work on one computer. I setup a Bootcamp partition when I first bought the Mac but installed a bunch of stuff on it, an validated it, etc., so I didn't want to start over. VMWare made it possible to run an XP session in the partition that was concurrent to OS/X without breaking a sweat. I love it.
Fantastic virtualization software though was a huge memory hog when running vista ultimate on it.(Naive I know)
I love it and use it very often for running windows xp and server 2003.
No use for Bootcamp or multibootloaders if you have VMWare.. Not for gaming and uses a lot of RAM, but most new macs can have around 4GB which is quite enough..
Eliminates any argument that PCs are better in the workplace. You can run all your out-dated Windows applications in a little window where they belong, whilst taking full advantage of the superiority of your Mac. Resource hungry? That would be Windows.
All in all an excellent product.
I have to compile windows applications in vmware fusion. The osx version is much better than the linux version. Performance is so good.
I used to use the Linux version years ago before i switch to Mac. I started using Parallels because it was the first, solid Mac virtualization. I recently switch from Parallels to VMWare and couldn't be happier. VMWare blows Parallels away performance-wise.
Best virtualization program for Mac. Period.
Great stuff this. I can use Windows XP, Vista, Ubuntu and SUSE Linux at the same time. Really like the feature where you can 'merge' Windows and Mac. Uses a lot of RAM, though.
y tngo usandola como 18 meses y funciona al 80% de velocidad en ventanas separadas pero cuando la usas en pantalla completa se incremente el desempeño muy drasticamente, al usar en forma combinada se reduce a menos del 50% pero de que funciona mejor que parallels funciona mucho mejor
Rather slow, but thanks to 'saving the virtual machine state' very quick on start-up. I mainly use it with Ubuntu and to show off to Windows users, they don't believe their eyes, MacOsX, Xp, Vista and Ubuntu al on one desktop
A fantastic product. Once I broke down and bought it the need for bootcamp was basically eliminated. Especially since 2.0 came out with much better linux support and more stable 3d acceleration in XP / Vista.
I switched to VMware Fusion after Parallel caused some booting troubles w/ XP SP3 and haven't looked back since then.
good virtual machine !
when i using windows on Mac os,sometimes useful !
I used this app for about a day... about an hour to install and config and about an hour fooling around with it just to see what this was all about. I would much rather dual boot with windows and deal with resetting the clock all the time. mmm mmmmm loves the memory.
