Hi there,
I'm sorry to hear about the experience you've been having. It certainly doesn't reflect the experience that thousands of our users, myself included, notice daily.
There's no way on earth that I would let us ship a product that behaved like this.
In your case, these all sound like something going on unique to your system. I would wager that on a different system with a freshly installed Windows + Fusion that these issues wouldn't be happening.
With software as complex as virtualization, some things can interfere that we have not historically QA'd for. for instance, there's some weird issues on Sierra if you happen to also have VirtualBox installed. Apple changed something and it created a situation that we did not expect, but now that we know about it it's a part of our QA cycle.
Chrome and Office are P0 test cases, however. We test these extensively. I use both of these daily on my MBP and have not encountered issues like you describe.
Overall the team does several thousand tests, a combination of automated and manual. Our team is the hardest QA team I've ever worked with, the only exception being the vSphere team (of which actually shares many of the same QA engineers due to our product dependencies.)
Now that's not to say we don't want to fix whatever is going on in your situation, far from it.
So to get you the help so we can figure out what's going on, can I have our engineering team reach out to you?
If that's okay, please just drop me an email to mroy at vmware dot com and we'll be happy to figure out what's causing things to go awry in your setup.
Thanks,
-Michael
