Does Fusion 7 Support USB 3.0 with Windows 7?

Pretty simple question.  Is it supported?  If not, there there is absolutely no compelling reason to upgrade.

We really don't need multiple threads going about the same topic.  It's been explained many times why this is the case.  Contact Microsoft, not VMWare.

Ummmm...yes we do.  I know it didn't work in Fusion 6, as myself and many others have complained about it.  I was simply asking if Fusion 7 supported it.  I now know it doesn't and I won't waste my money on it, and I hope others who need USB 3.0 support in Microsoft's most widely used operating system don't waste their money on it either.

As many others have responded to you in other threads, which included references to the technical preview for Fusion 7, contact Microsoft, not VMWare.  It's not a Fusion problem, it's a MSFT limitation - and likely a deliberate one on their part to force people to upgrade.  There's plenty of workarounds.
