Hi Mike,There are different types of virtualization that I think you're confusing. The only reason why Fusion would be slower than Bootcamp is because OS X and any other applications you have open are going to be using up some of the available resources. Beyond that there is a minimal but ultimately trivial performance hit for using Fusion instead. Quite possibly one of the only uses where you would want the extra performance is for some serious gaming and such similar software.
Bootcamp has the downside of requiring that you restart the computer, while Fusion lets you run apps side by side. I'd say Fusion is the better choice hands down. cheers, jane On Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 4:38 PM, Mike Arrigo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If you're going to install windows, I would suggest boot camp instead.
