New Vmware Fusion 3.1 & Creator 2010

[macdoots]

Does anyone know if creator 2010 will run on the latest Fusion? Earlier versions of Fusion could not support the required graphics so I was using Boot Camp on my Mac which worked perfectly. The new Fusion is claiming some serious graphic improvements, but I'm skeptical.

 

Thanks!

I'm not sure that you will get much in the way of an answer here. I don't think the basic reason it would not run was graphics but some other issue. What is wrong with Bootcamp since it works perfectly?

You have to remember that any Virtual Machine is basically an emulator that sits between the nativs OS and the overlaying one, so where a native OS would make calls directly to the hardware, any emulated one has to pass through the layers (and that doesn't always work). When it does work, the delays in translation can cause problems

 

In general, a machine running Windows on a VM is fine for stuff that doesn't require full processing power but not for anything else

thanks for the reply. Boot Camp requires shutting down in the Mac operating system and re-booting the computer in to windows. It would be more convenient to be able to run OSs side by side.

Thank you for your response. I thought as much since the older version of VM seemed unable to handle much other than the basics. I'll save my money and stick with Boot Camp.
