PC problems. Are these issues with OSX, too?

[QUOTE="Lastmboy, post: 1402453, member: 246992"] You have me curious. I've used Microsofts virtual "thingy", as well as VMware Workstation in Windows, mostly to run Windows XP in Windows 7. It works ok for the most part, but the resources the vm gets are severely limited. You'd never be able to play a video or open a very large photo in it. That said, I've never needed it to do those types of tasks, but it runs pretty slow even for basic stuff. Does Windows run better in VMware Fusion on the Mac? Can you give it enough resources to actually be able to run something? Can you explain the meaning of your statement "full interaction to the OSX desktop"? I'm assuming, or at least hoping, that you can share access to drives on the other OS partition (i.e. each OS can see the other's data), but it sounds like you're saying it can integrate even more than that.
