1. Fast

VMware Fusion for Mac OS X is built on the same industry-leading technology trusted by millions of VMware customers. The same high performance virtualization engine that powers the datacenters of 100 of the Fortune 100 and more than 100,000 enterprise customers is now available on your Mac with VMware Fusion.

“In my tests, [VMware] Fusion never slowed down my MacBook Pro laptop or two other Macs on which I tested it…[VMware] Fusion has a much smaller impact on the Mac’s overalls performance.”

—Walt Mossberg, Wall Street Journal, 

2. Easy

VMware Fusion was designed from the ground up for the Mac, providing the ease-of-use and fit-and-finish Mac users demand. From a Cocoa-native user interface, to virtual machine packages and more, VMware Fusion is the most Mac-friendly way to run Windows on your Mac.

“It's quick to install, simple to use, and built with non-PC owning Mac users in mind. It's also ridiculously inexpensive and as such comes highly recommended.”

—Steve Cassidy, PC Pro UK, 

“VMware Fusion on my Mac delivers my best Windows experience ever!”

—Louis Gray, The Apple Blog, 

“More recently, though, I have switched to VMware Fusion for my Windows virtualization needs…. I just find VMware a bit more "Mac-like" and easier to setup and use.”

—Chris Ullrich, The Unofficial Apple Weblog, 

3. Reliable

In 1998, VMware invented x86 virtualization—the ability to run multiple operating systems, side by side, on Intel hardware—and in the decade since, VMware has continued to develop its core virtualization technology. Based on the same mature, stable virtualization engine that enterprises rely on to keep their datacenters running smoothly, VMware Fusion lets you run Windows on your Mac with the reliability and performance you expect from a Mac.

“I found [VMware] Fusion easy, fast, stable (I had no hard lockups during my testing) and very well thought out…I currently prefer [VMware] Fusion for its low impact on other OS X applications, support for dual virtual CPUs, and huge library of virtual appliances.”

—Rob Griffiths, Senior Editor, Macworld,
