Yes. You'll want to install Fusion only after you've finished doing a successful Leopard upgrade (actually, I would recommend doing an Archive & Install) and determined that the machine is operating normally. Once that's done, Fusion should be installed next so that you can create a virtual machine to install XP on.

My opinion?...


Step 1). Install Leopard


There, you're all done now. Wasn't that fun?

You need Windows for somethings that can't be found on Mac.

Work specific tools for school like Access and Packet Tracer.

Give me an alternative to these things and I promise you I will delete Fusion along with XP on my Mac the next day :)

here is how I did it
1) Leopard
2) XP -via bootcamp
3) VMware Fusion
it does not really matter in which order you do it, but leopard needs to go first if you are going to do an erase and install
