Run Windows XP/Vista on your Mac using VMware Fusion 1.1

September 28, 2007 in Apple | Permalink

Screengrab_4 PC owners argue that Macs are all design over function, but then Mac users would state that with the latest Intel versions of the iMac, with Bootcamp installed, there's absolutely no reason why you can't use the same system to run both Mac OS X and Windows XP or Vista. However, this does mean that you have to boot in to either Windows or Mac OS X, which means that you might spend all your time in just one of these operating systems. The alternative is to use a virtual manager and to host Windows XP or Vista in a window on top of Mac OS X.

VMware Fusion 1.1 is an update to the virtual operating system manager for Mac OS that will enable you to install Windows XP or Vista on OS X. It's fast too. The latest Fusion 1.1 now supports DirectX 9 and has improved support for the iPhone under Windows as well as many other improvements.
