[rom]

Anybody using VMWare Fusion with non-Windows guest OS? Just wondering if you are getting core shutdowns when the guest OS is running.

I was having core shutdown issues...

My solution was to search here found some advice on using coolbook to reduce the HEAT and it worked, found a post last week mentioning the Thermal paste issue (just like on the rev A macbooks).

Just my experience, your milage may differ

to find the threads just search on my handle..

I've installed Parallels and it's really good, my Air runs nice and cool.

Running VMWare with Ubuntu, Win95, and WinXP. No core shutdowns or heat issues with any of them once vmware tools was installed in the VM.

The machine does run a little hotter with the VM going, but I expect a little bit of overhead...

I'm still considering installing coolbook, and fixing up my thermal paste. I am mainly thinking about performance improvements, though. If it helps, great. At worse there would be no change.
