After a frustrating time with VM Fusion 1, I thought that the new version might make things better. I was mistaken. I got a Mac over a year ago because I thought I could run some programs I need for work that aren't available for Mac. So I bought Windows XP Pro, installed it in a virtual machine I created with VM Fusion, and installed my programs. Windows never ran right, and as someone else mentioned, the performance on the Mac suffered. There were commands I was used to, simple ones, on Windows and now they would not work. I got the newer version, installed it, and since installing it one of my printers that used to work on the old version of the program wouldn't work, even after I reinstalled the printer. I was so frustrated that I finally made a decision. I bought a laptop that came with XP Pro, because to avoid Vista was one of the reasons I switched to Mac, installed my software on it, and the printer works just fine, thank you very much, and one of the most fun things I have done on a computer was to simply move VM Fusion, along with everything else in the virtual machine into the trash, which I promptly emptied and recovered 45 G's of memory for the Mac. Next I am going to take the CD's with both versions of VM Fusion outside, place them on a significant block of wood, and smash them to smithereens with a substantial sledge hammer. What a waste of my precious time this experiment has been.
