HoudahSpot	Nov 12 2009	SEANC I've disliked Spotlight's front-end since its inception. In fact, I found myself relying on EasyFind to perform searches even though it's much slower. Oh happy day when I first found HoudahSpot... It's exactly what Spotlight's interface should be. I especially like the ability to create custom search templates as well as customize the default search template. I'm hoping a future version will allow me to replace the Spotlight interface entirely (e.g., in the menubar, Cmd-F in the Finder, etc.) rather than existing alongside it as it currently does.

AppDelete	Nov 9 2009	SEANC Just a question, how is this different or better than the free AppCleaner? (Version 3.0.1)		0

TypeBook Creator	Nov 6 2009	SEANC This product does provide some of the most useful and attractive font specimens I've encountered, but I'd like to see more customization options (even though they've added "several new" options, it's still very minimal in this regard). Performance is quite good. The price, by the way, is $39.99 not $29.95. (Version 1.9.2)		0

VMware Fusion	Oct 27 2009	SEANC Just to be clear, my MacBook Pro 17" has an Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz chip (not a Core 2 Duo), which I don't believe is 64-bit. I am running Snow Leopard, but I don't know if it's worth it to upgrade from Fusion 2.0.6 to 3.0 if all the 3.0 enhancements and performance improvements are for 64-bit machines and Windows 7.

VMware Fusion	Oct 27 2009	SEANC I switched from Parallels to Fusion 2.x several months ago. Fusion imported my Parallels virtual machine (XP) effortlessly and with no errors or hiccups. A few Parallels services and drivers were left in XP, but these were simple enough to remove and delete if you want. (Version 3.0)		0

VMware Fusion	Oct 27 2009	SEANC Is it worth upgrading to v3 if you're not on a 64-bit Mac and not using Windows 7? In other words, can anyone comment about performance improvements or other enhancements for 32-bit users with XP installed? Gracias. (Version 3.0)		0

ITTY All Macs are 64bit since mid to late 2006. Xeon and Core2 (Merom and up) cpu's are 64bit.

Early Intel Macs (Core2 Yonah) cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard. (what would be the point?) If you are on an early '06 or earlier Mac-Intel machine then you get to save yourself $40 on the Fusion 3 upgrade.

DAVIDSAN All Intel Macs can upgrade to Snow Leopard, and they will see improvements. Disk space, faster startup and shutdown, Cocoa Finder and many more. It is true 64 bits processor will benefit more, but 32 bit Intel will see benefits also.
