Hi! I have a win XP VM in Leopard that is set to a max of 20gb. It was set to grow as needed. It is now taking up almost 30gb. I tried to shrink it, but it can't because it thinks there is a snapshot. I have never created a snapshot and the option to delete it is grayed out. Any suggestions on how to get this space back? Thanks! Joe

I'm running Mac 10.5, Windows XP Pro and VMWare Fusion. ...

I upgraded to Leopard. Bootcamp is gone by this point, and VMWare Fusion enters the fray because of it's leopard support. This is a couple months ago I guess. I convert a lot of my current VM's to Fusion, and it's great. ...

I have an iMac, running Leopard, a 320GB Hard Drive and I want to install Win XP Pro and VMWare Fusion. ...

So, I use Excel on VMWare Fusion. ...

Both Parallels and VMWare's Fusion will do ActiveX. Microsoft's "Windows Update" site for updating Windows works through both of these when you're running Windows, and Windows Update uses ActiveX controls.

Either one would accomplish what you want to do just fine. Whether you use VMWare or Parallels is strictly up to you and is subjective -- some people prefer Parallels, some VMWare, but in the end, both run Windows just fine with just a few minor differences.
