[QUOTE="dave421, post: 1163185, member: 124056"] I've run Windows (XP & 7) & Ubuntu on several mb/mbp and never had an issue using VMWare Fusion and Parallels. I use VirtualBox at work (running XP on Vista) but the best I can say about it is that it gets the job done. I really wish Fusion or Parallels had a Windows client. They are so much smoother & easier to use for my purposes. One of my issues is that a key piece of software requires a USB dongle (hardware key) to work. It's a headache getting it to work in Virtualbox but Fusion/Parallels will just pop up and ask me what I want to do with it. I'd suggest trying VirtualBox to see if it works for you since it's free. If not or you don't mind the cost, I'd highly suggest one of the other 2. [/QUOTE]
