New MacUpdate Bundle!

[Robert M]

Free,

It can but I'd say it's better used as a compliment to DiskWarrior.

Not exactly, IIRC. It gives you a comparable result, via a different means.

If anyone has already bitten, can you verify what version of VMWare Fusion it is (4.0 or 4.1)?

Now, I am more confused about this bundle - okay, so can I use the included version of Fusion to run Snow Leopard on my Lion Mac?

I already have Drive Genius, but mine is an old version I also got with one of these bundles a few years ago. Mine is version 2, and Prosoft wants $49 just to upgrade to version 3.

Laser,

The answer is maybe. It depends on what version of Fusion is included with the bundle. If it's just 4.0, then yes. If it's v4.1 then no.

Bought this immediately when I got the promo in my email early this morning. I already installed Fusion and used the migration feature to copy my PC on to my iMac. I haven't tested the install yet other than looking at it briefly, but it went fairly quickly and seems to have brought everything over from the PC AFAICT, anyway.

The migration began showing 10 hours to do the transfer (My PC has about 50GB used) over wireless but I think it finished in a couple hours. If everything works, I'm going to recommend it to a client who wants to bring his Windblows stuff over to a new iMac 27" that he's buying on my recommendation. He already bought a MBA and I put Win 7 on it using boot camp. This will be easier for me if it works as well as it seems to have on my iMac.

Robert - it's version 4.1.1 that I DL-ed from their website. I didn't install from the MacUpdate bundle because I wanted to try it first. I had parallels on all three of my computers, but recently, after a full restore, on my iMac Parallels wanted me to go through registration again and I thought I'd give this a try to compare - my Parallels install on this computer was version 6 anyway.

I'm pretty sure the VMware fusion serial number will work on any 4.x install.

Just buy the serial number and use the version that allows multiple OS installs.

This does NOT include the oops version of VMware.

But like the above posted said -if you can get your hands on that version, I would think the serial number would work.
