I wanted to download VMware Fusion (VMware Workstation for Macs) so I went to the VMware site and clicked on "Download Free Trial" and got an instant download dialog. Once the 511 MB file was on my disk I thought "Hm, before I install that thing, let's see its checksum is valid!".

Looking for the SHA1 checksum I ended up at this place, but what's that? Two versions of the same product? Let's see: apparently the version I downloaded was called "VMware Fusion 6 with VMware Tools and a 12-month complimentary subscription to McAfee VirusScan Plus" (with said 511 MB in size) and the other version is "VMware Fusion 6 Only" with only 234 MB in size. Are you kidding me?

I know, other companies bundle their programs with pesty add-on programs and sneaky toolbars as well, but holy shit! A more than doubled download size to include a crappy virus scanner as your default download option? You must be out of your mind!
