For example, when you’re running Windows in Fusion’s Unity mode (which makes Windows apps appear as individual programs, just like your Mac ones), each of your open Windows apps appear separately in Mission Control. VMware has specifically tweaked Fusion to work well with Lion. (You can, if you wish, disable UAC to lower the annoyance level.) That leads to more annoying user access control (UAC) prompts, but results in a much higher degree of security.

Fusion does include a video that shows you how to buy a copy directly from Microsoft. (I was also able to install the Windows 8 Developer Preview, and it ran quite nicely, too.) Unlike Parallels 7, Fusion 4 doesn’t allow you to purchase a copy of Windows from within the program itself. Installing Windows within Fusion 4 is straightforward: Installing the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Professional on a 2011 MacBook Pro (2.2GHz Core i7 with 4G of RAM) took me just under 15 minutes. If you use more than one Mac with regularity, this is easier on the pocketbook than is Parallels’ “one machine, one license” requirement. Fusion’s license allows for unlimited installation on as many Macs as you use (for personal use business users have different terms).
