Quite so.
I've used VMware for about two years on a variety of host hardware and OSes, running all manner of guest OSes, with nearly perfect results. I currently am running Mac hardware (MacBook) with Fusion, and gave an identical setup to my 14-yr old daughter who likewise is doing fine with it.
I don't know of any other competing product with that breadth of coverage, or high success rate. So I'm something of a VMware fanboy at the moment. No connection with Vmware itself, of course. Just a happy customer.
