PTC Creo Parametric on MAC with VMware Fusion 7, 8?

I've been running the last several releases on a Macbook Pro via Fusion and Win7.  Generally, things run OK, but have some issues with mouse behavior and key functions that are expecting a standard PC style keyboard.  I think there are solutions lurking in the cfg files for alternate key defs ,but haven't had the time to sort them all out.  I use a Logitech wireless mouse that has enough buttons to invoke most of the mouse features.

My latest issue is losing the License manager if I am not careful about putting the Win7 window to sleep or closing the lid on the machine.  (My normal behavior is never shutting anything down.)  Requires rebooting Win7, otherwise.

Punchline: if your alternative is to have a PC just for this task, I'd go for the Fusion/Win window.
