and when you launch the boot camp partition after that, it takes forever to load.

That happened to me. What I discovered was that fusion brings up an authentication window, but doesn't take the focus into it. The best thing to do is to go into your home folder and remove the partial virtual machine, and start again, letting fusion configure the bootcamp partition. I think it's in your username/library/application support/vmware/bootcamp. Don't worry, it will just recreate a new virtual machine. Then when it gives you that message about preparation, bring up the window chooser and you'll find an authentication window. get into that window and authenticate, then wait for fusion to do all its configuring. you might have to wait some time to let it install vmware tools as well, then it might restart the virtual machine. Hope this helps.
