Hi All. Firstly, if you have VMWare tools installed. Then you can copy files or text from the host to Guess OS and visa versa. This is available in 3.xx. Just use the copy paste commands keystrokes for the relevant OS. Note, the feature works for any Guess OS that is running in VMWare as long as VMWare tools is installed.
In relation to best setup settings. 1. Do not configure your VMWare to take more then 50% of your RAM. In fact, the VMWare site states you should have less then 50% of your memory allocated to the VMWare guess OS. 2. VMWare also stated that if you have a multi-core processor. Then only use one core for the Guess. Since the MAC OS has issues with syncing threads and other functionality between multiple cores. I am not sure if this is valid for Lion. 3. If you have only 4 gb of RAM. Buy more and upgrade to 8 mb at least. This will make a major difference in performance. 5. The GUI interface is very accessible. So you should not have any issues with changing parameters. 5. Store your data in a shared VMWare directory and sync the documents and desktop. By having it on the MAc drive. Not in the VMWare environment. You will maintain reliability. 6. Do not use 2 gb files setting. This can slow down the performance of the VMWare. I do not know if this has been improved within 4.0. This came from our internal I.T people at work. Other then the above tips. I don't think there is anything else of major concern.
