VMware Fusion Comments

Slick interface

about VMware Fusion and VMware Workstation Pro · Jul 2011 · Helpful Not helpful Report as spam

The user interface of VMWare Fusion is far slicker than VMWare Workstation. Fusion is simpler and more intuitive, and it's good on the eyes, too. There should be Windows and Linux versions of this.
