I would think some of the disk space would be used up to store the VM image
on the mac. Whether it's the 250 gig you make for it, or only a portion
depends on whether fusion can grow the file as needed, or if it fills all
250 gigs with nothing before formatting for the Windows install. I like boot
camp better, but wish I could have the best of both worlds, but I would have
to come up with more JFW keys and another XP license, most likely, even if I
import my boot camp into fusion.

Thanks Matt. Right now I'm still unsure as to whether or not I'll set up a
virtual machine or do a bootcamp install, but this info was very helpful.

Hi.
Once you shut down the VM, you're Mac will indeed have all of it's
resources once again.

Hi everyone.
I have a copy of Windows 7 floating around here, and I was thinking
about playing with VMWare fusion. I have a few questions before I get
started though. I understand that when you're setting up the virtual
machine, you allocate a certain portion of your system resources in
order to run it. Let's say, for example that I allocate four of my eight
gigs of ram and 250 of my 750 gigs of hard drive space for the virtual
machine. When I shut down the virtual machine, will those resources be
returned to my mac? That is to say, will I once again have all 8 gigs of
ram and 750 gigs of hard drive space available for use on my mac? I
apologize if this sounds basic. Thanks.
