Software Reviews of VMware Fusion [OLD VERSION]

Customer Review: Great...but NO customer support
Summary: 3 Stars

I have owned VMWare Fusion for about two years now. I purchased it after downloading the beta release. It works great, as others have mentioned. However, I wanted to mention that when you buy the disk, that is ALL you are getting. There is no live customer support, and when I had problems installing initially after a reformat, I kept getting an error that was unsolved online. However, there was no phone number to call, or online chat or anything. I finally just wrote a complaint to the corporate dept. Not surprisingly, they didn't get back to me.

With the latest update, I was able to download and once again use the product, so it works again for me now. Just make sure that you are prepared to only use chat forums to answer your questions (if they have been answered)...

Customer Review: Doesn't work with Windows XP SP 3
Summary: 4 Stars

I have only the SP3 from my Dell cpu and it doesn't work with VMWare. Also, if you have any Windows disc you have to have the product key on the computer too that the software came with. I tried to borrow a friend's disc and it won't work either because he doesn't have that cpu anymore (he has an XP SP 2 disc).

Customer Review: Perfect
Summary: 5 Stars

Item ordered was received in a timely manner. It worked perfectly on my iMac. Very pleased with everything.

Customer Review: Creepy to see the toolbar on my mac.
Summary: 4 Stars

First off, I purchased this version because it is cheaper than version 2 and you can upgrade to version 2 for free on the company's website. So I am actually running version 2. It is quite creepy to see the toolbar on my mac in the unity mode. One frustration is that you can't (as far as I know) move the toolbar to another location on the screen, so I have to move my dock to the side of the screen to be able to access the toolbar. Another weird thing is that sometimes my Windows drive on my mac desktop disappears. I think that's usually after I have ran VMware fusion. I think it's mostly a pretty intuitive program. It doesn't seem to slow down my mac much, although I haven't done too much with it at this point. The Windows side does seem to run a little slow, but it's Windows. Overall, I like the program and I am happy with the purchase. You'll probably want to check out the manuals on the website to answer some random questions.
