Confused about VMWare Fusion

[Grampa Joe]

If I buy Fusion, do I also have to install Windows on my iMac so I can run Family Tree Maker?
After reading about Fusion, I still don't have the answer for certain, but I think I need Windows OS, too. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Fusion is just a means to run a virtual machine. Any virtual machine you decide to run within it needs for the OS to be installed, so yes, you need to have a copy of Windows to install. Fusion doesn't come with it.

You can pick up OEM copies of XP Home/Pro pretty cheap these days, and that's what most people recommend.

As I suspected. Thanks!
