P2V means вЂњPhysical to VirtualвЂќ and after running VMware Converter on a Dell 600MHz machine for 40 minutes, there was a complete VM version of that original machine, written to an area of network-attached storage.ДЄfter copying the dozen or so files making up that VM to the Mac and simply double-clicking the VMX file, we were soon presented with a Windows 2000 login prompt the VM had no idea it had been moved. The screenshots on this page were taken by finding our oldest-running PC, and downloading the free P2V utility from the VMware site.

What makes this product of such fundamental, earth-shattering importance to PC Pro readers isnвЂ™t even part of this specific package: itвЂ™s the rest of the VMware product range, and where Fusion fits into that picture. And, rather confusingly for the naive user, if you click a URL in a document when in Unity (single-window) mode, itвЂ™s the PC browser that opens, not the host Apple web-link handler.ДЄnd thatвЂ™s the Apple-specific bit done and dusted.

The Apple UK format hardware keyboard has in the wrong place from a userвЂ™s perspective, yet a PC virtual machine retains standard PC keyboard layouts. While Macs have been able to support multiple displays since 1989, VMs can only show up on the primary display (where the menu bar is displayed). We did find that one particular old gem, I-War, kept losing its mouse cursor and wouldnвЂ™t work in full-screen mode, but the exceptions are few and far between.ДЄnd there are some Apple limitations that niggle, too.

Unlike Parallels, though, this is done in a usefully uncluttered manner вЂ“ the former insists on putting the Windows taskbar along the bottom of the Mac screen, which inevitably clashes with the OS X Dock and simply ends up confusing.ДЄ PC virtual machine вЂ“ which could be running any version of Windows, or even DOS (or any of the 400-plus freeware Linux and BSD derived VMs for download on the VMware site) вЂ“ is firmly convinced that it has a complete machine to itself, extending influence sufficiently far enough to grab and support USB devices that OS X doesnвЂ™t recognise, and even have a pretty good go at supporting older PC games. Like Parallels, VMware Fusion is at a stage advanced enough that a single window from a PC program can be presented without the surrounding PC desktop paraphernalia so much so that it appears very much like a Mac program.
