Recently I have had the pleasure of learning a lot more about Visualization and it’s benefits to IT Departments. My question however was how can Virtualization help me? The answer was actually quite easy. For my own personal use I have a Mac Book Pro, running OS X, my co-workers explained to me that with a Virtual Machine running I could use Windows 7 and Mac OS X using a program called VMWare Fusion 3. The last time I had tried to run windows on a PC was quite a few years back and initially I was quite hesitant to try using a virtual machine again. Even with my woes everyone convinced me to give VMWare Fusion and Windows 7 a whirl on my Mac.
I was surprised right off the bat, Fusion was a breeze to install, and even easier was installing Windows 7. I entered in my license key, and within 30 minutes a copy of Windows 7 was on my Mac. Even cooler my same desktop from my Mac was right there on Windows, my CD/DVD Drive worked, and I was connected to the internet. I didn’t have to setup anything! Windows 7 runs great on my MacBook Pro and I can use pretty much any software I need on my laptop now. If you are considering installing Windows 7 I would absolutely recommend installing it with VMWare Fusion.
