[QUOTE="SammySlim, post: 1316896, member: 48298"] Please see my responses below IN CAPS - Can I run specific apps from Windows in OSX without needing to start up the VM? YES YOU CAN BUT THE VM WILL BE RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND AND USING RESOURCES Like what if I want to just use Access real fast? YOU CAN DO IT AS NOTED ABOVE. - When in full-screen mode, are resources being used differently than if in different modes? NOT SYSTEM RESOURCES - Is Unity view similar to Parallel's way of running individual apps from Windows in OSX? YES - Will I get any of those markings on the all my icons like Parallels does? DON'T KNOW BECAUSE I DON'T USE PARALLELS - There is full screen mode, one window mode, and Unity mode. Is Boot Camp still an option with this? YES YOU CAN CREATE A VM FROM A BC INSTALLATION AND THEN GO EITHER WAY (REBOOT INTO WINDOWS OR RUN THE VM) - I am using a 2010 MBP with a 2.66 Core 2 Duo and 8GB of RAM, what would be the best way of splitting the resources to ensure smoothest operation in both OSes? YOU DIDN'T SPECIFY WHAT VERSION OF WINDOWS YOU WERE USING ONLY THAT YOU HAD 64 BIT INSTALLED. AS A GENERAL RULE, I WOULD START BY SPLITTING THE RESOURCES EVENLY THEN ADJUST AS NEEDED. - After I exit running VMware, will my resource all be allocated back to Mac? YES - Since Windows applications can be on Launchpad, does that mean they will also be in the Applications folder? DON'T KNOW AS HAVE NOT RUN A WIN VM SINCE UPGRADING TO LION. DEFER TO OTHERS - If I migrate my Boot Camp into VMware, will it no longer be accessible as a Boot Camp option? NO IT WILL BE. SEE ABOVE. BUT YOU CAN'T CREATE A VM THEN MAKE A BOOT CAMP PARTITION FROM IT - IT ONLY WORKS ONE WAY -- BOOT CAMP FIRST THEN CREATE A VM FROM THAT. - How is uninstallation of VMware? Does it leave anything behind? I'VE NOT HAD AN ISSUE WHEN I UNINSTALLED AND IF YOU DO, THERE ARE VARIOUS FREE UTILITIES TO ASSIST. - I have 8GB RAM total, when I run VMware inside OS X, I will split the RAM in half. Would I then need to install Windows 32-bit since I am using 4GB RAM for Windows? I already have Windows 64-bit installed though. YOU DON'T NEED TO REINSTALL 32 BIT WINDOWS. 64 BIT WINDOWS WILL WORK FINE IN 4 GB. YOU COULD ALLOCATE MORE THAN 4 TO WINDOWS IF YOU LIKE - IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU'LL BE USING WINDOWS AND OSX FOR WHEN THE VM IS RUNNING. Thank you for taking the time![/QUOTE] HOPE THAT HELPS AND OTHERS MAY CHIME IN TOO WITH THEIR EXPERIENCE. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
