The short version; this program SUCKS with Vista.
The long version; lots of problems with graphics performance; many artifacts when starting up. Difficult to resize windows. Also, wireless mouse issues; slow tracking, even after cranking up speed in Control Panel; "rainbow" pointer. Overall, VERY sluggish, even after downloading VMWare Toolbox. In fact, the mouse worked better with Vista's own driver.
Tried allocating 2GB of RAM, cranking up graphics acceleration, selecting 2 virtual processors, to no avail. VMWare's web site is essentially useless for troubleshooting. If you're going to charge $60.00 for a Windows emulator guys, get your heads out of your collective a***s. Make a product that works with Vista and make your web support user friendly. Did anyone from VMWare TRY Fusion with Vista before releasing it?
