Update - Windows 7 64 bit runs very well even with only 1 core assigned
and 1 GB of RAM. I'm also doing tests on Os X as a virtual machine. Yes
this can be done and for those speculating completely legal otherwise
Fusion wouldn't allow such an operation.

I can tell you that startup as far as Fusion is concerned is much shorter in
v6x than in v5x. Also, and this might just be my machine but Fusion keeps going
even if there's a lot of disc activity. In v5 the mac would either delay in
responding or report that Fusion is busy then ready. Again this could just be
my machine and not a complaint at all. Will do some more testing with my
Windows 7 64 bit VM. Note from V6x of Fusion anyone even without a Vmware
account can trial the software at no charge for 30 days.

Hi Chris, let us know if you find any advantage in upgrading as far as
performance and such is concerned. I run windows7 64bit as well running fusion
V5.4 on mavericks.

Hi all
I have done my first application upgrade on this mac, I upgraded from Vmware
Fusion 5x to 6x. The process was straightforward. All I had to do was:
1. Open the disc image in the Finder.
2. Copy the single .app file to the Applications folder.
3. Ran the copy from the Applications folder.
4. Followed the instructions, including entering in the password for my user
account twice. This is akin to User Account Control under Windows Vista and
later as well as other Unidx-based operating systems which Os X uses behind the
scenes.
This is so much better than Windows and upgrading Vmware Workstation. You are
forced to uninstall the old version before you can install the new version. Not
so with Vmware Fusion for the mac and no doubt other applications. Apps from
the App Store are updated in the background as of Mavericks so even easier.
I tell you what, the more I use this mac the more I realize why it can be such
a hype. It is more stable, less prone to crashes or other bugs, and is
certainly less prone to malware.
I'm not against Windows at all; I just find the mac is good if not better at
certain things such as the above. In fact, I have Windows working on this mac
thanks to Fusion. It is Windows 7 64 bit.
Anyway just thought I would share my £-.02 worth on upgrading mac applications.
Hope you find this useful.
Regards Chris
