How to uninstall VMWare Fusion from a Apple Mac computer

I had been trialling VMWare Fusion on the Mac, and although it was working fine, I decided not to pay the money and keep using it as I found SUN’s free VirtualBox software and decided to give that a whirl instead.

I wanted to remove all traces of VMWare Fusion as I like to keep all of my computers as uncluttered as possible, and here is the best way of doing it.

1 Power off all running virtual machines, and quit VMware Fusion.
2 In the Finder, open the folder Macintosh HD/Library/Application
Support/VMware Fusion, and double-click Uninstall Vmware Fusion.
3 When you are prompted to confirm, click Uninstall.
4 Enter your administrative password to begin the uninstallation.
When the uninstallation is complete, a confirmation message is displayed.

Mac users tout about how stable the platform is, but in reality it is just as stable, or unstable as Windows can be. I also have to run updates on the Mac’s around the place just as often as the Windows boxes..
