Fusion, Mac, VMwarePost by Mike DiPetrilloAdd comments

Any Windows 7 fans out there? Ready for Vista with a pretty wrapper? Well, if you want to try it out to see what all the fuss is about then there’s no better way than running it in a VM on your Mac with VMware Fusion.

Peter Kazanjy did a great job writing up a how-to that walks you through getting Windows 7 up and running. Just check out the beautiful screen shot below. So what are you waiting for? Go over to the Team Fusion blog and walk through getting Microsoft’s latest operating system release up and running. It will remind you why you love your Mac. :)

    All i can think is why doesnt apple let me run OSX out of their ridiculous expensive hardware. Why dont you beat them with a stick for not allowing OSX to run on VMware Workstation ?

    I only wish I had a big enough stick to get Mac OS X off Apple hardware. Maybe some day.

    Glad you're liking Windows 7. I've heard a lot of people speaking volumes about it.

    In the end, it's just Vista SP2 – or rather, what Vista should've been. SP1 fixed a lot of problems, but not all of them, and its tainted image is hard to wipe off, unfortunately.

    On the other hand, it's great to see that Vista drivers still work with 7. But again, this is Vista SP2, with internal version number 6.1 (Vista was 6.0). I myself did not follow any recommendations on that how-to article and even shared folders work.
