copied!<p>I am developing .net applications using XP Pro in VMWare Fusion and I am not finding any issues. I am not even seeing any performance issues as the hardware in the MacBook Pro is much better than the hardware I had in my previous laptop.</p> <p>I found that there were a few things that I had to fiddle with to make the experience the same as working on my previous laptop.</p> <p>I had to install <a href="http://www.randyrants.com/sharpkeys/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Sharp Keys</a> to be able to access the right-click/context menu key on the keyboard, which I use often when in VS. I also made sure that some of the Mac OS keyboard and mouse shortcuts were not registered in VMWare Fusion, to stop strange things happening.</p> <p>I just noticed that I am only allowed my VM to use 1GB of memory, maybe I should up this just a little. There are posts out there that warn about assigning too much memory to a VM.</p> <p>One thing that is suggested for improving performance is to run the VM on another spindle. I haven't found a suitably priced 7200rpm portable drive yet, so I can't comment on this.</p> <p>[Edit] I knew I had seen this somewhere, <a href="http://keithelder.net/blog/archive/2008/06/30/Setting-Up-Windows-Server-2008-VMWare-Virtual-Machines-For-.Net.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Setting Up Windows Server 2008 VMWare Virtual Machines For .Net</a> - This is something that I have been meaning to try out, I just haven't got around to it yet. (Too much time spent reading CrackOverflow)</p>
