Hi, my iMac shipped out today and I'm a long time Windows user, switching over. I've been trying to learn what I can before my computer arrives.
I have a number of windows apps I will still need to run. I've already decided I want to install Vista via Boot Camp so I have a full fledged windows box in case something goes wrong with my virtual machine setup.
I'm going to use VMware Fusion for my virtual machine. If I install my windows applications in boot camp, then set up Fusion, will it use my applications that way, or will I also have to install them all again via Fusion?
I know that it will find Vista via my boot camp install, and that I should wait to activate Vista until I have the VM mode setup as well, but I'm totally unclear about windows applications.
I hope that was clear as mud;D and appreciate any guidance.
