Hi As we state in the policy document, the configuration of the VM itself is fine. This is on the Mac side, not the Windows side, so yes, this topic is perfectly acceptable. Just to clarify, the only sticking point is when people start talking about the way they set up Windows. I'm sorry that we have to be so strict on this, but we really don't want this group to go down the same road as others have. This group is an Apple only group, and we must draw the line somewhere. I am well aware that we have lost, and probably will lose, members because of this strict policy. However, it isn't going to change. This group is iOS and Mac OS only. But again to answer your questions, yes. This topic is very clearly explained, I think, in the list policy document. Having been reminded of my intention to tidy/update this document for some time, I have now don that. There are a couple of small but important list policy changes contained within that document. As yet, I haven't got ar ound to updating the document sent to people upon subscription, but I will do that very shortly. This document which, if anybody who didn't read it when they joined is interested now to do so, can be found at: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/Mac-Access-Welcome.html>

I'm running fusion 4 right now and am seriously thinking about getting fusion 5. There's only one thing I really need to use fusion for, but right now it's a great big deal, so having things work smoothly under fusion is important! I'm wondering if it's worth getting 5 now or just holding out for 6 or whatever the next incarnation is.
