[Ipaqman]

hi all,

i just purchased vm ware fusion for my new mbp and wanted to know what operating system to get with it. if i get vista business do i get the 32bit or 64bit version?

ipaqman

anyone know which version i should go with? should i go vista 32 or xp pro?

anyone have any opinions??? i have a brand new 2.4 mbp and wanted to use either vista business or xp pro just for using a few programs. anyone have any experience with either of these operating systems?

thanks so much.

Ultimate 32 bit unless you have more than 4 gigs of ram then get the 64bit.

What will you be doing? You need to be more specific...

i would just be using it to run a few business programs and to manage my music as OSX does not support ruckus.

I have 32 bit Vista Business which I run with VMWare. I've just tested it and it runs perfectly fine on my MBP. I still prefer XP since I am used to the UI, but there is nothing wrong with running Vista with VMware on a MBP. I don't see a need for Ultimate though, just extra eye candy which you really don't need in a VM.

If you go with Vista just make sure the software you want is compatible with it. I would probably switch to it if the VPN client I need worked with it.
