Just to touch on one thing. Fusion 3.0.0 is ready for release RSN (I
mean, literally days or weeks probably). So, as someone who beta-
tested 3.0.0 (and still has it running on my desktop), let me address
a couple of these items, where 3.0.0 differs from 2.x.x:
· Windows 7 is a supported guest OS in Parallels. By
comparison, in Fusion … there are articles written on “how to make
windows 7 run in fusion,” but officially it’s not a supported OS,
and many articles have been written by people having difficulties.
Windows 7 is, I believe, supported in 3.0.0.
· In Parallels, you can configure your VM to start in
whatever display mode you like. Fullscreen, coherence, modality,
whatever. By comparison, unfortunately, Fusion can only startup in
windowed or fullscreen mode. You can’t start Fusion in Unity if
that’s your preference. You have to wait till it’s up, and then
switch.
In 3.0.0, at least, if I have a VM in Unity mode when I shut it down,
it will restart in unity mode. You may have to use the "Pre-Unity
Window" to log in, if your windows isn't set to auto-login, but then
that window will vanish and you'll be in unity mode automatically.
· This is unconfirmed, but … I hear if you have an ESXi
server, you can simply copy your VM files to it, and run your VM on
a different set of hardware for a while, if you have something which
will be compute intensive or memory intensive, or if you have any
other reason why you’d want to run your VM on a different machine
for some reason.
I've done this.
Cheers,
D
