I know how to get into full screen mode, but once I'm there, I can't access the menu. To answer your question, I find that windows is much more stable on the mac than the pc. Also, the beauty of virtualization is that I can use my time capsule to back up my entire vm. It works; I just tried it. Also, the snapshot feature of fusion is great. Finally, if windows gets corrupted, all my documents are still safe because they are shared with the mac. I've been doing this for three years and I love it, I just wish it worked as well on my new mac as it did on the older one.
