I switched from Parallels 8 to VMware Fusion 5.02 so I could exchange VMs with my colleagues using the Windows based Workstation and Player. So far I find that VMWare and Parallels both work well.
I usually run my VMs full screen, and when you shut down a VM in Parallels it automatically exits fullscreen (and auto-enters fullscreen again next time you boot). In Fusion a VM stays in the full screen mode just showing a huge Play icon. I don't understand the logic of that. If I wanted to immediately reboot, I would have shut down the VM using "Shutdown and Restart".
Is there a way for Fusion to also auto-exit full screen mode when you shut down a VM? Thx!
