[QUOTE="voided3, post: 384675, member: 29663"] Hello, I use VMware Fusion with WinXP and 98, Xubuntu Linux, and various other Linux distros. It works very well with XP and, unlike Vista, doesn't require a lot of RAM; you could give it as little as 256mb and it would still run basic apps without much fuss, but as always, the more the merrier. My MBP has 2GB so I usually give my virtual machines between 512mb and 768mb. I haven't tried Vista with it, but given the graphics requirements for Vista, the simpler theme would be your best bet since in a virtual machine setting the graphics hardware is emulated. Also try out Virtual Box; it just came out for Macs and it works very well. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
