VM Fusion with Retina MBP

[brentsg]

I haven't used the higher resolution MBP with VM Fusion since early launch days. Have the wrinkles been worked out, such that running Windows XP or 7 in a VM aren't a mess in regard to scaling? When I attempted this before, either the VM was running full resolution (and therefore unreadable) or everything was a scaled, blurry mess.

Is this workable these days?

I read that article before I posted, thanks. My question remains unanswered, or at least I'm still unclear. Is Windows 7 easily legible, or are things still broken? I don't need Windows to access the full screen resolution, as things are then too small to read properly. I'm assuming from this article that I can make things scale as I see fit, but the last time I had a high resolution display and a copy of Windows on hand, this was still a pipe dream.

I'm hoping to scale all UI elements to relative sizes that are similar to the default OSX behavior, but in Fusion. I'm just unclear if it's going to work out as well as it does with OSX.
