As long as your VMWare Fusion is the same or newer than the VMWare
virtual machine file that created it you should be able to copy the
virtual machine file around just like any other document, albeit a very
large one. So if you want to experiment with some new piece of software
you can just duplicate the VMWare file, load up that one, install your
stuff to try it out, and then throw that duplicated copy in the trash.
In theory you can also use your VMWare virtual machine on any other
instance of VMWare of the same version or higher. You can also make sure
to create a virtual machine with an older version so others with an
older version of VMWare can also use it. Of course distributing Windows
in virtualized form to other folks would not exactly be welcomed by
Microsoft.

Hi
I have VMWare Fusion installed on a LaCie Rugged 120GB SSD. I did a recovery
from Time Capsule to an tme and date before i installed VMWare Fusion. When i
booted into Mountain Lion after restore i could not open the Windows 7 because
there was no longer a VMWare Fusion to load it. I installed VMWare Fusion
again. Could not use any of the options to bring the old Windows 7 installation
onboard again. So, i just installed VMWare Fusion. Then, i loaded the program
file Windows 7 (old fusion) and this time Mountain Lion could open it and it
worked with Window Eyes 8.3 as last time. Have to check, yes, 8.3
I did not know if we could move VMWare Installations with us on a external
device and just install VMWare Fusion on an another mac. Since i could do it on
an earlier version of Mountain Lion from a backup, i presume it is possible to
take it with us and use it on another mac. Not exactly plug and play, but not
so problematic either.
I don`t understand how to configure a standard apple usb keyboard with numeric keys
to work in Windows 7 with Window Eyes. Does anybody have an step by step guide
saved or any tips? For instance, which profile should i use in VMWare, preferences,
keyboard&mouse, profile ? If i want to use an apple standard usb keyboard with
numeric keys. Not in unity mode.
A relief that Time Capsule seems to be a very good backup solution.
Take care
