TAB put the suite through a series of tests to help readers determine if this 168MB download is worthy of a spot in their Applications folders.

I didn't have any luck using my existing virual machines. I had problems installing the VMWare tools to make integration better and even once installed I never got multi-monitor functionality. But once I created a new Vista virtual machine it all now works as the advertise. Doing Vista is kind of an acid test so I know I will have no problem with creating an XP SP3 VM. As a Visual Studio developer I could get all of my work done on Fusion 1.0, but it was a pain not being able to use all of my monitors. Being forced to work with Windows to make a living is a necessary evil, but it is so much better now that I have such seamless integration with OSX and can do development with the aid of both OS's.
