VMWare Fusion (Mac OS)

VMWare Fusion is an application that makes it possible to access and use PC-only applications, files, networks, and devices from an Intel-based Mac. Information Systems & Computing (ISC) suggests VMWare Fusion for relatively light use: if users find that they are using VMWare Fusion more than 20% of the time, they should probably use a "real" PC from Dell or Lenovo, or consider Apple's Boot Camp.
