VMware Fusion 3 provides convenient new ways to experience Windows applications like Mac apps.īringing your entire PC to your Mac has never been easier, thanks to the ultra-fast Migration Assistant for Windows.

You can even view Windows applications in Exposé and Spaces or access Windows apps from the Apple menu bar, in just a click. Run Windows applications just like Mac applications, with seamless copy-and-paste, drag-and-drop, and printing functionality that "just works" with no additional setup required. Furthermore, in-depth instructions on how to install the most common guest operating systems, can be found on the VMware Guest Operating System Installation Guide. The VMware Compatibility Guide site gives you quick access to the most recent list of guest OSs systems that VMware Fusion supports. VMWare Fusion offers the possibility to run Windows in a separate window, but you can also run Windows in the full screen view that displays only the Windows desktop. Fusion is designed for both casual users and professionals who want a fast, simple and reliable virtual machine alternative. The VMWare Fusion app is easy-to-install and you will be able to get your Windows up and running in a snap. With over 50 new features and a new ultra-fast Migration Assistant for Windows, it’s never been easier to run Windows on your Mac.

That's also a potential issue for any apps that are loaded on the VM.With VMware Fusion, run the most demanding Mac and Windows applications side-by-side at maximum speeds without rebooting. The other big non-technical aspect of these kinds of ways of working is that you have to take care of the bizarre MS licencing for their OS, which, unless you are a corporate with an enterprise licence which allows VM licences, requires you to get a licence per VM. If you do give that a go, I'd be interested in your experience.

Perhaps you could give it a try to see the reality of using Xen, obviously Qubes does a bunch of things on top of that.įrom the way I read the XenClient pitch, they are providing manageable instances for laptop consumption based on Xen for corporates. Many laptops seem only to support 8G, at least officially, and ideally I'd want 16G. Speed is good, though the more resources (memory) you have the better. Qubes runs a bunch of Fedora/apps on the Xen hypervisor, as well as supporting a W7 instance. Haven't used XenClient, but have been interested in Qubes for a while, and like the latest release a lot.
