I used Pass Mark. Dunno if it's really that good. It was just one of the earlier hits on my Google search.

I tried running the PassMark performance test on my real PC (Intel Core2 Duo 2.2GHz) and got a rating of 591. I ran the same benchmark program on Virtual Box on my MacBook whcih has the same processor and got a rating of 500. Some of the difference is probably the somewhat lame video in the MacBook vs the Dell desktop (NVIDIA Quadro NVS) and a slower laptop hard drive. So depending on how you measure it looks like about a 14% hit for running inside a VM. Maybe Fusion would do better but I don't have that. I also ran the test on a Mac Pro with 2GHz Xenons and got a score of 722. Nice.

I said it and I was speaking of Windows under Bootcamp. If you run Windows under the Bootcamp environment you are running Windows on a Mac which is stable and it also is on cooler looking hardware. If you have enough processor and Ram then running in Fusion will be as fast and as stable as it would on a Windows box. Four GB of RAM and a dual core processor will do the trick.

This brings up a question, how does windows work with fusion? Does fusion have its own windows drivers? I remember one person on the list saying that windows ran better on a mac then the PC, was that with fusion or boot camp?
I know installing windows using boot camp does require sighted help.

And that's fine, but we need to make sure VMware knows there are many
of us using their product because of its accessibility, so that they
will continue to provide access to the software. V2.0 will be a free
upgrade to existing users.

Yeah, a guy said it has accessibility issues so I decided not to get
it.
