Yeah I don't know who told you that but they are misinformed. I have Windows 7 Ultimate running on my Mac using Fusion and other than it heating up sometimes when Windows is performing a task that uses up CPU, it runs normally. -- Shawn Sent From My White MacBook Using SamNet -- You received

My only reason for preferring full-screen over any other mode is that when tabbing back and forth between mac and windows, they each appear in their own space. without full-screen mode, the windows7 window stays on screen blocking the view of mac windows. For totally blind people this is not a

I usually run in full-screen mode and when I command tab into fusion, I use the tab key or jaws read current line command to get windows awake and responding. sometimes focus gets screwed up and in those cases I use command control F to switch screen modes which usually shakes things up and
