First off let me say that mapping your keys within your VM with sharp keys in windows has worked for me better than the mapping feature in fusion itself. Mainly because when I backup my vm on a USB drive, reinstall it, everything is still there. Even after a clean install of the mac os. Another thing I will point out that helped me the most. I went cold turkey on the mac for almost 4 months before installing fusion and windows. I wanted to make sure I got the full mac experience. If you install windows in the beginning, you will use it for a crutch when you get frustrated with the mac. But if its not there, you will be forced to use your patients, and figure things out.. The best advice I can give you, is forget everything you know about windows, pretend it is a whole new experience. There will be new keystrokes, commands, key combos. Throw all the knowledge about windows out the window, it will make it easier on yourself to learn the mac. HTH Kliphton
