[QUOTE="Neo, post: 530302, member: 36256"] I'm glad it's gone well for you. I am a big Fusion fan, so here's a tip. Remember that everything you see in Fusion...everything...is really just stored as a very large file on your Mac hard drive. So what happens if that virtual file gets damaged? Any data files (pictures, financial data, etc.) get much harder to recover if they aren't stand-alone files. I install all my Windows apps in Windows (C:/Program Files/...blah blah), but VMWare Tools (installed with Fusion) allows you to save all your Windows files to your Mac User folder (and vice-versa). To make it even more convenient, I map my Mac folder as a drive in Windows Explorer. All the work I do in Windows is saved on the Mac side, and so will be available to me even without starting Fusion. And if anything happens to the Fusion virtual file, no data files are lost in the mass. Finally, file backup is a one-step process, just back up the Mac folder and everything is safe. Have fun!
