Thanks *very much* for this, just what I wanted to know! Good, one
less thing to worry about then.
Also, if your needs for Windows programs don't include gaming-type
performance, consider getting the open source VirtualBox instead of
one of the commercial VM systems.
<http://www.virtualbox.org/>
I'm using it at home and it's quite good.
I began using it today. It takes only about a quarter of a 20" LCD
widescreen? Is there some way to make it bigger? Is this limitation
also something that Fusion and Parallels have?
In Virtual Box, you make the Windows screen larger by increasing the
screen resolution inside of Windows (right-click on the Windows
desktop and choose Properties > Settings)
And in thinking some more about it I realized that I'd neglected to
install the VIrtualBox Guest Additions (in the Mac menu) on my Mac
here, which enables the same autosizing that the $$ competitors do.
Once those are enabled you have a Virtual Box menu item "Auto-Resize
Guest Display".
When you do get riun the Guest Additions script in Windows, you will
get an error that it isn't signed for XP compatibility, continue anyway.
