I run D2007 under VM Fusion on Mac Book Pro... runs fine, but it is
(obviously) slower than running native...
I have it set up from the Boot Camp partition, so could run natively
if I wanted, but seldom do... have been tempted to set up a new VM
(rather than using the Boot Camp one) to see if it runs faster, but
haven't bothered so far (so it must not be too bad :-) )
Regards
Colin

I use VMWare Fusion, its good.
I run Windows XP with Delphi 2007 and MSSQL Server, normally in
Fullscreen, but in a windows is perfectly fine.. The only downside
of MAC, is that Remote Desktop for MAC is low quality compared to
the windows version, so when you need to access another XP machine..
the best way is to use remote desktop from inside VMWare fusion..
You will not be dissapointed at all.. My brother is running Windows
7 and it looked good too..
ALSO, my brother is using the new FREE mac Virtual Machine from
SUN.com go check that out before you pay.. he says it works well

So this now sounds erncouraging.
Does this mean you are using VMWare Fusion? (that’s what the apple
store seems to be offering)
Can you run an XP or Windows 7 session inside a window on your Mac?
If you can, I think my credit card is about to take a massive hit….

I'm looking at buying a Mac Pro.
I hope I can get it to run D2009 in a VM using Fusion or Parallels.
Is this a really BAD idea?, or has anyone else on the list done it
and made
it work?
