Re: running windows under a virtual machine using Vmware?
I'm running an i7 MacBook air with 8 gigs of RAM, and the Air handles Windows better than any of my high end dedicated Windows laptops ever had. I dedicate one core to Windows and 4 gigs of RAM while it's running, leaving 4 gigs and the other Core for the Mac. I use a combination of Karabiner (Previously keyRemap4Macbook), Siel (Previously known as PcKeyboardHack), and Sharp Keys in the actual VM. If you want more information, I can help you off list. I have a setup where my Windows, alt and ctrl keys are all set up to a PC layout inside the VM only, and my capslock routes to the insert key for JAWS/NVDA. I also have it set so I can use capslock as the VO modifier (ctrl+option), which is easier in some cases, but not all. The key remapping process can be rather extensive, so again, if you want to use the layout I described, shoot me an email off list. Hope this helps.

Re: running windows under a virtual machine using Vmware?
Hi there, I did ghet the Iso image of windows, and so far that has seemed to work to get the vmware installation running. Is there anything different that I should do as far as keyboard mapping etc? Also, do you think that a Macbook air could handle a screen-reader as well? I'm running the 1.7 I7 with 8 Gb of ram.

Re: running windows under a virtual machine using Vmware?
Hi Justin, You need an ISO image of Windows to load up a VM. You can find these from sites such as Digital River, just make sure you buy a key first.

running windows under a virtual machine using Vmware?
Hi all, I've got some software that I am trying to run that is pretty nitch, and requires the use of windows, so I am trying to install windows on to a virtual machine on my mac using VMware fusion . I've figured out how to create the Vm, but how to you install windows in to the area where the Vm is located? This away it doesn't have to run from the Usb drive that I have mounted.
