[QUOTE="ErikJenkins1187, post: 784843, member: 65110"] One minor, or major note... There is a known issue with VMware corrupting certain parts of the Windows registry when using a BootCamp partition as a virtual machine. I tried out VMware a couple months ago on my BootCamp partition and it did indeed do some registry damage, to the point after my VMware trial was up I had wipe my BC partition because Windows acted so **** buggy. It was freezing on the log-in screen for minutes at a time, installers froze up, and UI elements would disappear and reappear. I finally ran a registry debug utility I had and verified the damage. I could of fixed it but I just deleted the partition because I don't really need Windows anyways. Just some food for thought gentlemen and ladies. [/QUOTE]
