I'll like having the option to run a dual boot system with full resources
available for each, but also being able to just run an occasional windows
program from the MAC side when needed.
What is the best resource for learning how to operate VMWare? Is the help
system sufficient?
?,

Yes, the new iMacs do not, I repeat, do not, come with CD drives. Of course
you can buy an external disc drive that will connect via USB. Apple sells
them for around $80 but you can probably get them cheaper elsewhere.
Also, just one note, while VM Fusion does have a lot of advantages over a
duel boot system, the downside is, as I understand it, that you then have
less power running that operating system. The quad core processors of the
iMac should be able to handle this fairly well, but it might be another
reason for upgrading the RAM. Particularly if you use any memory intensive
applications. Otherwise, your computer is essentially running two operating
systems at once and that, I'm guessing, is quite resource intensive. That
said though, you might decide this is worth it for the simplicity of using
the virtual machine (i.e. VM Fusion).
