Apple has never bothered with this nonsense, but for some reason Windows has persisted with it. The Numlock equivalent on a Mac keyboard is the Clear key. It's in the same position as the Numlock key on most non-Apple keyboards. In the most recent versions of the Apple keyboard the key is simply labelled "Clear", but in older versions it additionally carries the sub-label "Numlock". Check your VMWare Fusion documentation for any variations on this. For example, Parallels apparently uses Shift+Clear.

Re: Extended keyboard software
Stuart You may need to press Num Lock to enable the numeric keypad. I think the 'Clear' button above the number 7 is the Num Lock when in Windows. That¹s how it works in Boot Camp anyway.
