No special configuration required. The installation of Windows XP requires a legal copy of the OS software on CD. The instructions are easy to follow. (I used the express Windows XP setup.) You may want to change the network setting to "Bridged" instead of the default "NAT" configuration depending what you plan to do in Windows. Because of the way backups are made with Time Machine, I put the VM disk image inside a sparsebundle disk image. But this is not strictly required. Best regards, Will McKee.

We'd like to install Windows XP and Fusion on one machine, mainly for demonstration purposes. Fusion is supposed to make switching back and forth between the two operating systems "seamless"--no rebooting necessary. Can anybody provide Do's and Don'ts for installing Windows on this nice new Mac? Is any preparation needed? Our machines are not managed by the university--we're on our own. Thank you.
