![]() I hope there's a solution, or a fix coming up soon! I don't remember whether I had this configured somehow in VMWare 4 and earlier, but the option to change the Windows key mapping doesn't seem to be available anymore - of course I can create mappings that trigger the Windows key *in combination* with another key, but there doesn't seem to be a way to map it *on its own* (or rather, remove or reconfigure the mapping that's obviously already there). This VMWare KB article suggests it was possible to switch off this mapping in the past: However, this also triggers the Windows key behavior sometimes, which is highly inconvenient. I also like to use the Command key as a Control key replacement for some other combinations inside Windows, and I have the mappings set up to do so. I can actually use the Mac task switching with Command-Tab (after enabling the "Mac Host Shortcuts" in the new keyboard profile editor), but the Windows Start Screen in Windows 8 pops up every time I do this. ![]() With a handful of options for using Windows and OS X apps side by side, Fusion makes its easy to use the two operating systems in tandem.I'm interested in a solution to this problem as well. VMware Fusion is a thoroughly capable virtualization application that lets you run Windows and OS X. Resource intensive: Running a virtual machine strains system resources, so you'll see overall operational degradation if you don't have a moderately well-equipped and current Mac. Or you can keep it out of sight and access it from a Windows Start menu from the Mac menu bar and launch Windows apps from the dock. Multiple ways to work in Windows: You can run Windows full screen or side by side with the Mac environment. Fusion includes support for DirectX 10 and OpenGL 3.3. You can use the Windows 10 Store, the Edge browser, and Cortana. Well integrated: Copy and paste or drag and drop files between Mac and Windows environments, and copy and paste between Mac and Windows apps. (Boot Camp needs to be installed on an internal hard drive.) You aren't limited to Windows, either you can run another version of OS X or Linux in Fusion as well. And unlike Boot Camp, you can run Fusion and the virtual machine from an external drive. With Fusion, you can run both OSes at the same time. Run Mac and Windows side by side: You don't need to reboot to change operating systems, as you must with Apple's Boot Camp. ![]() Migration help: VMware Fusion includes a migration assistant to move your apps, settings, and documents from a Windows computer to a virtual machine. You can also import into Fusion virtual machines you've created with Parallels Desktop and Microsoft Windows Virtual PC. If you previously installed Apple's Boot Camp, you can create a virtual machine that directly uses your Boot Camp volume, or you can copy your Boot Camp volume to a new virtual machine. You of course can create a virtual machine from scratch with a Windows 10 disk image. Installation options: VMware Fusion offers a handful of options for creating a virtual machine on your Mac. The virtualization software provides lots of installation options and many ways to integrate Windows into your Mac workflow. With VMware Fusion, you can run Windows and OS X applications side by side on your Mac.
