first thing first - set up secondary click (or just get a not too expenisve non-magical mouse with more than one button, forget about the sillness of control-click)
create new ones or migrate with wizard
options for startup view and shutdown
got to remember how to release/free cursor - Ctrl+Alt (don't need it with tools, move seemlessly in Windows 8.1) - if you are used to VMware, it is different ...
control center
coherence, modality and full screen views
coherence need shared applications setting. the screen a bit messed up in Windows 10 preview, another process can't close try to shutdown.
modality - can make window transparent
not sure those modes help or not - do you really need to make them that integrated (title in Mac title bar etc.) unless you use the Windows app a lot? occasionally going in VM to do something not in OS X, more trouble and confusion than they worth.
keyboard keys you don't have are in toolbar
what to do when new external device plug in - MT1806 (not sure what that number is from) is a Samsung (TSSTCORP) SB-218BB TS-01 slim USB DVD
don't you hate that when computer tell you what you need and what you don't? - who decides "what's non-essential"? shouldn't the UI ask "Do you want to ...."?
Message on top of Message ... ...
even entered powersave mode may give you 3 more new notifications
don't do stuff too fast, screen shot may fail
can do 2560x1600
scaling slider doesn't work, use the radio buttons
only wizard's "productivity" settings uses 1GB RAM, the other three - Design, Software Development, Games all set to 12GB
display - up to 2048x1536
extra host process app running, can be seen in dock
tools install failed - GUI or text mode (same for Fedora with kernel 3.19.x?)
need accessibility?
2GB RAM
the screen messed up in the language selection screen
then you need internet access - for license ??? pick up VPP & configuration from host UID?
4 (experimental) how to shutdown? no 5.x?
Chromium
appliance - 60 day trial
crashed, didn't started one time (and took out wireless too?)
cannot logout, lose menu
have to force quit
