VMWARE Fusion is a USELESS Product

I have got to vent. I used to use vmware fusion daily on a White Macbook with no problems. For about 3 years now I have been waiting and hoping for upgrades on this product to fix the horrible performance. I am currently on a Macbook Pro with 8GB Ram. No amount of resources you put on this product and fix it. It's a pain just to use internet explorer!

I need to product for Revit 2016 but you can even draw a wall due to performance issues.

Can VMware way in on this before I spend another dime on an upgrade that you promise will fix the problem?

Hi there 😃

I'm @mikeroySoft on twitter.

Can you tell me about your Mac? Which model is that? (the GPU will make a huge difference in performance).

Also helpful is what OS are you running on the Host and Guest.

I am presuming you're using Fusion 8.1.1

I just tested AutoCAD Revit on 2 systems, macbook pro (mid 2015) and a Mac Pro (trashcan).

Everything ran flawlessly. I mean I think, I'm not a CAD designer, but it never glitched, everything was smooth, no rendering issues.

Can you maybe provide a project that you notice runs with poor performance?
