I PERSONALLY BIT THE BULLET AND DID A RE-INSTALL OF WINDOWS USING THE
EXCELLENT EASY INSTALL IN FUSIONS'S VM CONFIG. I THEN HAD BOOT CAMP
RETURN THE START DISK TO A SINGLE MACOS VOLUME, AND THEN REMOVED BOOT
CAMP. BUT STABILITY HAS NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE. IN FACT, IT'S MORE
STABLE, FOR SOME ODD REASON, THAN NATIVE WINDOWS UNDER BOOT CAMP.
THAT SAID, IT WOULDN'T BE HARD TO BEAT WINDOWS FOR STABILITY, WOULD
IT, <SMILE>. I USED TO USE PARALLELS, BUT FOUND THAT IT WOULD
FREQUENTLY CRASH WHEN IN A FULL SCREEN SESSION. THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN
WITH FUSION. REGARDING THE BETA AND COST, I'M NOT 100% SURE ABOUT
THAT. I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING ANY ANNOUNCEMENT ON THEIR WEBSITE.
BUT I SEEM TO REMEMBER SEEING SOMETHING SOMEWHERE IN THE APP ITSELF
ABOUT LICENSING. SO MAYBE IT'LL BE THERE. ANOTHER REASON I WENT
AWAY FROM BOOT CAMP IS THAT YOUR VIRTUAL MACHINE BECOMES PORTABLE IF
YOU JUST USE FUSION. I MEAN IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MAC, FOR INSTANCE,
YOU CAN JUST COPY THE VM FILE(S) FROM THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORY(S)
AND HEY PRESTO, YOUR NEW VM OR VM'S ARE INSTALLED ON YOUR NEW MAC.
SINCE THE HARDWARE PROFILE IS THE SAME ON ALL VERSIONS OF IMACS, FOR
INSTANCE, AT LEAST AS FAR AS THE MOTHERBOARD ETC. IS CONCERNED, NO
NEED TO FOOL AROUND REACTIVATING WINDOWS. THAT WORKS, I'VE TRIED
IT! I HAVE ACCESS TO TO 2 IMAC MACHINES AND THE SAME VM WORKS ON
BOTH OF THEM.

admittedly I'm doing both, bootcamp and fusion. I'm kind of fearful
of fusions stability not in programming of sorts but ey its new to me
and new things scare me.
I mean if I deleted my windows partition or just formatted it can I
take confert in this vm box being solid, stable and not just corupt?
hope you understand what I am trying to say.
also do you know of a ball park figure what this will cost when it
comes out. when does the beta expire?
