They fit the same purpose (desktop, vs Server virtualization), but they are
different products. As one who prefers MacOS, it's frustrating that Fusion
still lacks a number of features of Workstation, most notably for me the
ability to configure vmnet interfaces. It *can* be done through some add-on
shell scripts, but I find it quite disappointing that this GUI hasn't been
added to Fusion 3 yet. Fortunately, vmnet interfaces configured via
Workstation 6.5 continue to work when the VMs are moved to Fusion.
I haven't found any problems using Win7 in Fusion3. It gives a relatively
low score on the performance index test on my 2.66Ghz MBP, but it is doing
Aero effects.
