Right after finding out VMware Fusion 4 got released, I downloaded and installed it.
Basically, there are two VMware Fusion 4.0.1 downloads:
- The 180 megabyte VMware Fusion (for Intel-based Macs).
It is called “light” and only includes the VMware Fusion software in the software and has a URL starting with https://download2.vmware.com/software/fusion/VMware-Fusion-4.0.1-474597-light.dmg - The 381 megabyte “Recommended” (not!) VMware Fusion (for Intel-based Macs)
It includes both VMware Fusion and a 12 month complimentary subscription to McAfee VirusScan Plus 2009 (Recommended) and has a URL starting with https://download2.vmware.com/software/fusion/VMware-Fusion-4.0.1-474597.dmg
I can’t imagine McAfee being larger than the size of VMware, and if it has the same speed impact on a Mac as it has on PCs, then don’t get it: get the light version.
