When I got my new MBP and found out I had to use Windows 7, I said "no way, will I buy another windows OS !!". I have VMware fusion, but have not had success creating a virtual machine with Windows XP.
I might now just take the hit and get Windows 7 so I can run certain programs that force me back to windows. I'll use Fusion and Lion, probably will up grade to Mountain lion soon too.
Can anyone tell me:
1. Do I definitely need a "retail box" version of Windows 7 rather than OEM
2. Any bugs or problems to be aware of. Last time I set up a bootcamp partition I used the same VMware fusion on my old macbook with Whatever operating system came before snow lion, I also still have XP on this bootcamp.
Any help or feedback appreciated !!
