Hi, I recently installed Windows 7 via Fusion on my Macbook Pro and I am wondering if it is possible to use the Aero feature with fusion. If it can then how?

Unfortunately its not possible to enable Aero when running Windows under VMware Fusion.

It's been long enough now...

I sure as hell hope so, it's a MAJOR annoyance, especially with all the nice new features in Win7. Whether Parallels or VMware gets it working first will determine who gets my virtualizaton dollars.

Yeah, Aero for the windows is a minor aesthetic deficiency--but not having aero-peek with the start bar is a utility deficiency.

I'm guessing that it might be possible in the near future because newer versions are enabling better hardware acceleration.
