Mac Forum / Applications / Other MS Products / January 2008Does Fusion support Vista Home Premium?
Hello Everyone! Just purchased VMWare's Fusion program for my new MacPro (Leopard system) to run Windows. Also purchased Vista Home Premium, but since then have read documentation indicating Fusion does not support this version of Vista. Can anyone confirm this either way and if it does not support, what version of windows should I have purchased? Shall I just leave well enough alone and jump into the Mac world without my Windows security blanket! Thank you Sorry, but although you *may* get an answer here VMWare Fusion is not a MS product & I doubt MS has any interest in whether it supports any particular version of a Windows OS:-) You'd most likely get a faster & more accurate reply from VMWare. According to their site, however, these are the "officially" supported flavors: Windows Vista (Business, Enterprise & Ultimate Editions) In fact, I just found this on their site as well - the part captioned "Virtualizing Consumer Desktops" will pretty much answer your question: http://www.vmware.com/interfaces/licensing/desktop.html  SignatureRegards |:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac Hello Everyone!

Thank you They can¹t support it the vista home editions are not licensed for use in a virtualisation environment. Not supporting is not the same as not working, but I can¹t say whether or not it will work from my own experience.
