I am currently testing out a new version of the APF Bridge Component - If you notice any errors within this demo store please drop me a line.

Just purchased a Mac and wanted to run Windows as a window within Mac. This software is great. It came as version 1 but as soon as I installed it I was prompted to update to the latest version. Another update has come out and I will probably do that in a few months, I hesitate to update anything when it is running so well and I am a real neophyte on the Mac.

Powerful software. Built a PC on my MAC.
Bootcamp provided by Apple is okay, but I can have only one at a time(either/or).
VMWare fusion lets me run Windows alongside MAC and I can share files between the two.
Also, if I mess up something, I can just delete my PC and build a new one. Very helpful for trying out
trial software/freeware.
VMWare let me get a free upgrade to their latest version also!

VM Fusion allows me to see and use all my old programs on my PC. It claims a lot easier interface , but still usable. I tried Parallels first and still like parts of that program.

Have had this version of Fusion open on my MAC for weeks with no interuptions on either the MAC or Windows side.

Until I watched friends using Fusion on their Macbooks, I'd never seriously considered a Mac as a viable replacement for my Dell laptop. I have several software packages that are not available on a Mac, and which are critical to my work.
This software (Fusion) provides the "missing link". It works EXACTLY as advertised. No drama, no complications, no issues. My kind of software.
I installed this on my Macbook (5 minutes), then created a virtual machine for Windows XP, and proceeded to install XP with my Windows media. Within a half hour, I had a Windows XP virtual machine installed, and I was installing my various software packages.
Within an hour, I was done, and my Macbook could do all the things a Macbook can do ... and could do everything my existing Dell laptop could do!
Just for fun, I installed new virtual machines to run an old copy of Windows 98, and another to run a copy of Oracle's "unbreakable linux". These also performed flawlessly.
Hats off to VMware for producing this product, and making it's price a non-issue! Now if only Apple would lower their prices a little ... ;) ;)
