What give? Installed programs on VMware don't show up in bootcamp?

[mrplough]

So I installed the ms suite through vmware fusion. I was surprised to find out that nither the programs I installed nor the custom wallpaper was there when I log into a boot camp windows partition. Is there something I have missed?
Can you only install in boot camp or Vmware? and are they accessible to each other. Sorry if this is confusing? 😱

Is the VM you use in VMWare the Windows you installed under Boot Camp, or a separate install you did just for VMWare?

If it's separate, the VM is stored in a big file under Users/YOU/Documents/Virtual Machines.

If you use Boot Camp's Windows as a VM in VMWare, I don't know if you can install software via the VM and then have it also be there in Boot Camp's Windows.

Have a look at search results via MRoogle.

Both.
Or whichever you use more I guess.
Games for bootcamp, other for VMWare maybe? 🙂
