I'm not an expert, by any means, but my understanding is that Fusion
is an application that allows one to set up a virtual machine (i.e.,
acts like hardware but isn't) on which Windows can be run in parallel
with your Mac OS. I've used Fusion to play around with Ubuntu, a
distribution of Linux, and it seems useful enough.

Hi all,
I have just ordered a new macbook - the middle of the road one but
with the
2gb of RAM. I also have an imac at home which I have yet to really
start
using as I am studying and using MS word on my old laptop.
My dad loves freecell on windows and none of the freecell games I
have tried
installing on my mac come close... I also have some windows
programs that I
want to keep using.
Given this, I want to use either fusion or bootcamp but aside from
the fact
that you can use one in conjunction with your mac OS, I sort of
want to know
what the benefits and drawbacks are. Can I run Fusion on my new
macbook?
I store files on external hard disks so hard drive space isn't
going to be
an issue.
I suppose I am interested in speed, ease of use... Can you access
files on
one partition from the other...
How does JAWS go running under either system and if you are using
Fusion,
what happens to VO or JAWS when you tab into the other OS?
All thoughts however simple welcome,
From Penny
