Friend of mine was over earlier mooching off my music and video collection. He's not the most computer savvy type, so it's fun to do cool stuff on the 'puter and watch him freak out. It's even more fun because he's a gamer and somewhat of a Windows zealot. He's your basic I-don't-know-anything-about-Macs-so-I-may-as-well-hate-them type. So he's dogging on my HackMac as usual so I fire up Fusion and start up the XP VM, drag it over to the second monitor, and full screen it. It's booted up by the time it gets there. I start dragging files and stuff back and forth between the two monitors. Suspend it, fireup the Vista VM and do the same thing. Install some crap Windows program he was crowing about real quick. Suspend it and fireup the Arch Linux VM. He had a look on his face like a caveman the first time he saw fire. I didn't let on that he could do basically the same thing in Windows (with more archaic multimon support of course)... was fun. tongue.gif

Lets not forget that a windows VM ultimately fails at 3d acceleration, and all of gaming, which is what you said he does. Effectively if he was somewhat more savvy he woulda told u where to stick your VM happy.gif

noob messing is a fun sport though, and I support it.
