Well, i was running fusion with 2gb of ram and windows 64-bit on my mbp and it was a bit sluggish. If performance is your main priority, you should run boot camp wich will mean that Windows gets the whole 4gb and will run more smoothly. If you want the ease of flipping between the 2 operating sy

I'm no exbert, but I hear that windows 64 bittt needs at least 4 gigs of ram. And what the mac can do, the minumum you need is 4 gigs of ram. So I don't think switching to boot camp, or another windows screen reader will make a difference. JMO Sent from Minister Miller's IPhone On Jun 8, 20

Hi! What do you mean that the boot process isn't accessible? I haven't seen any trouble so far. Also, the downside to Fusion is that, if you don't allocate the proper amount of memory to your system, you will get what is called a "memory swap". This means that Mac OS X and your virtual machine

Hi, As far as I know, there is no auto-install. At least, I have never seen it, and thus you most likely have to use sighted help as when installing Windows on an actual PC. It'll probably be the same procedure, according to all the sources I have looked up. Regards, Nic Mobile Me: nic2...@me.
