For those interested, this is to confirm that the windows version of matlab does run properly on vmware fusion.
And no, you don't need a MBP to run matlab via vmware fusion. Matlab runs at perfectly normal speed (aka the usual matlab slowness) on the macbook. RAM is your friend here. 2GB of RAM on my macbook seems adequate.
Btw, for those looking for an alternative to matlab, you should definitely give octave (an open source clone of matlab, comes in OSX binaries too) a go:
