Hi All,
Just built a MacBook pro retina with OSX 10.12 and am incredibly disappointed with this product Fusion 8.5 Pro. Clean build, nothing installed except updates and Fusion 8.5
Clean install of Windows 10 Pro 64 bit and installed the latest VMware tools.
System is fairly powerful and has 8GB RAM. Split the RAM between the host and the VM both getting 4GB. Super fast SSD drive.
- Even without anything installed performance is pitifully slow and intermittent. Researched forums and web and see a lot of similar complaints.
- Screen resolution is constantly changing in an unexpected manner. Tried various settings but the VM’s resolution keeps changing constantly (do a search on these forums, you’ll see). Please make it so the resolution can be LOCKED!
- Pitiful performance across the board. Tried Performance tweaks in Windows and on the Mac OS side.
- Can’t highlight / select consistently in MS word (I can select text it just doesn’t highlight).
Does VMWare have a QA department or actually do any testing on their products before they start selling these products?
Please someone from VMware stop advertising this product supports windows 10 as this is a joke.
Had none of these issues with Parallels.
Suggestion – try doing some QA on your product. Install Fusion 8.5 on OSX 10.12 with Windows 10 and make sure it actually works properly. Maybe even install a couple of apps like Chrome and MS Office and test it out?
