Somewhat related question: I've got Windows XP installed under
bootcamp. Increasingly, I am wondering whether I might be ready to run
Windows XP under fusion. Can I try to do this whilst still keeping my
bootcamp partition in case I make a mess of things?
I was also wondering whether if and when I decide to take the plunge,
some of you who have so much know how would be happy to help off list
so as not to clog up the traffic?
Sadly, I still need Windows for my languages and Kurzweil but it would
be good to have Windows XP available on demand. Under Windows I run
Jaws 7.1 and I have Hal 8 as well although I'm not running it as I was
having video intercept problems. I did wonder though whether Hal would
run on a usb dongle with windows under fusion. I don't know wehther
anyone has tried this.
Thanks for any encouraging thoughts in advance, or warnings if there
are any to be heeded.
With best wishes
Simon

Hi all,
Currently I have boot camp installed. I'm finding that I'm needing
Windows less and less though so maybe now is the time to virtualise
instead. I've used a demo of Fusion 1.0 or 1.1 I think it was many
moons ago and was pretty impressed. Can anybody who's used Fusion and
Virtual Box give me a quick rundown on the pro's and cons of each,
which one they use, and why? Money is pretty tight here this
christmas, so not wanting to shell out cash on Fusion unless there are
real advantages.
Cheers
Scott
