Ditto; started with version 3. Things have only got better. Any comments I might make about the product are pertinent to the product as a whole and not its accessibility, although there were bugs in prior releases which meant, for example, that one could not use snapshots requiring use of the command line.

Re: VM Fusion 8.1 user experience comments
Hi! I very much agree. The only issue I sometimes have is that keys in the VM are sometimes held down, especially when in conjunction with shift, although this is actually because of VoiceOVer's quick nav issue. Aside from that unrelated Fusion bug that causes the VM to act weird, it's very nice. They've done really well with it. I'm more than happy to keep upgrading, and I started out with VmWare Fusion 3. It's come a long way since then.
