Tue, 01 Sep 2009 05:55:20 +0000 Miha Markic [Visitor] c249668@http://www.sodthis.com/b2evolution/ I did take a look at the latest Workstation (6.5.3) and it really works better in this regard but not everything is fixed - it still has quirks. http://www.sturmnet.org/blog/2009/08/31/wpf-in-vmware-is-horrible#c249668 In response to: WPF in VMWare is horrible...

But that's interesting -- I guess it may be that Fusion is once more not the first SKU to get that update. Something to check out when a new version of it comes along. Been waiting for that anyway, because the current latest still doesn't officially support Windows 7.<br /> <br /> Thanks<br /> Oliver

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 16:39:32 +0000 Frans Bouma [Visitor] c249666@http://www.sodthis.com/b2evolution/ This is a bug in VMWare that has been fixed lately if I recall correctly (as MS contacted them about that as VS.net 2010 ran into this prob. ). Not sure if you have checked the latest version of your vmware tools? http://www.sturmnet.org/blog/2009/08/31/wpf-in-vmware-is-horrible#c249666 In response to: WPF in VMWare is horrible... Mon, 31 Aug 2009 12:34:31 +0000 Daniel [Visitor] c249665@http://www.sodthis.com/b2evolution/ Yep, same on my recent MacBook Unibody running the latest VMWare Fusion. The difference in performance is quite shocking, actually. I hope they fix this soon.

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 10:35:52 +0000 Miha Markic [Visitor] c249664@http://www.sodthis.com/b2evolution/ WPF is based on DirectX 3D and DirectX 3D isn't fully supported in Workstation, I guess the same is valid for Fusion. I also think (guess) that VMWare is working on the issue and they should fix it someday. http://www.sturmnet.org/blog/2009/08/31/wpf-in-vmware-is-horrible#c249664
