Product Review: VMware-Fusion-3.0 … so far it sucks
December 13, 2009
Update:
I just installed VMware Fusion Version 3.0.1 (215242) … and it seems to have solved the problems I listed below. Thanks be to the nerds – I use Fusion a lot!
The original post …
Hi,
I use both Windows and Mac machines at work. But still, when on the Mac, it is useful to have Windows available for those rare occasions where you need to jump quickly into Windows … some programs can still only be found on Windows.
You have a few choices when it comes to installing Windows on your Mac, but for me, Vmware Fusion has been my favorite because it works really well and hasn’t given me any problems … until now.
VMware-Fusion-3.0 is Buggy
I just installed and soon after, uninstalled the latest version (VMware Fusion 3) because Fusion 3:
– ran really slow as compared to VMware Fusion 2.x
– could not connect to the netwok adaptor card and thus the Web.
So once again, I broke my own rule of NEVER upgrading software, until at least a few months after the release date … for the bugs to work themselves out.
… For Microsoft software, I would extend that to as long as a year!
I hope this post saves people a headache.
