Nothing bad about it as far as I can tell. In fact, having it running allows one to quickly toggle between OSes. This is a real luxury. There are times when I disable it so that notifications don't interrupt my Windows screen reader. Of course, there are other ways to prevent this from happening than unloading Voiceover. I also sometimes turn it off when I need to use keystrokes that conflict with VO. But I tend to leave it active in general daily use. Maybe before we say something is a bad idea, it would be good to qualify what is meant. For all I know, performance may be snappier in the VM with VO disabled. If that is the case, it might be good to disable VO when doing something that requires a lot of CPU or memory or whatever. I have not really tested this and am satisfied with Windows performance the way I currently use it.

Why is it a bad idea to have vo running when you are using fusion?
