Hello everybody I'm definitely not going to talk about Windows. But I'll tell you this; Fusion 4.01 is just a dream machine! It's fast, ass-kickingly fast! It's accessible, more so than v3 in some ways. Just thought you'd like to know. Lynne <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To repl

I wonder if it's now as fast as parallels. I remember you said that you thought parallels was faster than fusion, they have just released version 7, and it's just as inaccessible as previous versions, it's obvious that company has no interest in fixing this, but I wonder if their speeds are equa

Hi Lynne. Yes it is a dream. Be aware that the snapshot menu, so you can roll back to previous versions is not accessible any more. A little thing, that is a little of topic. I think it would be best to install windows again, not just move it, I did that with no greater success. But we can not

Parallels is much faster when it comes to 3D graphics and gaming. Parallels will probably always be faster as it does not do virtualisation in the same way Fusion does, it actually uses the Macs hardware directly, hence the faster graphics performance. As most of us blind folks are not graphic

another interesting issue with version 4, not a big deal, but, in the settings, when you click help on most screens, it says the topic is not yet available. I never used the snap shots feature, so that's no big loss for me since I back up my virtual machine to an external hard drive. On Sep 17,
