VMWare Fusion and Mountain lion

[bohnje]

Hello, I just wanted to confirm that if I purchase VMWare Fusion on my retina macbook pro running ML that I will be able to boot my bootcamp partition as the VM. (I read some where that it could not in Lion ?)

Also does anyone know aprox how much HD space Fusion and a VM booting off my bootcamp partition would take up?

Thank You!

All you need to know: http://blogs.vmware.com/teamfusion/...e Fusion and OS X Mountain Lion FAQ (Updated).

Diskspace is quite simple: take the current amount of used diskspace for the boot camp partition and take that as the amount of diskspace the vm will need at the very least.

Vmware fusion cannot be used with retina display on MBPRO at this point without your windows displaying a ridiculous resolution that cannot be read without a magnifying glass. Even if you reset the resolution in Windows it still defaults next time you start up to the unreadable. I notice Parallels has a retina display driver but fusion does not seem to be interested. Perhaps bootcamp or parallels is the way of the future

I havent it noticed it changing the resolution on a restart. I have noticed I can't comfortably use the same setting in VM as I do in bootcamp and it requires me to either change resolution or dpi. Not a huge deal as I rarely use bootcamp (but when I do its awesome to be in the same drive/config as the vm).

I'm VERY happy with fusion, and use it everyday.
