Windows XP has been great, but its life expectancy isn't too long anymore, in addition you might want to make sure that your development environment is ahead of that of the customer so that you know what to expect in your applications. Performance of windows 7 in a virtual environment has been reported to be quite good (it was OK in my experiences as well) I"m just guessing that re-installing OS's and setting up a development environment isn't your hobby.

If this is your development machine that you are going to install now, then I would in your case select Windows 7 圆4 as that will give you the best machine for future expansion. Windows XP 圆4 will give better results as Windows XP as it has a newer kernel which is more virtualisation aware as windows XP 32 bits.

I've read that Win XP64 would be better in some cases because of hardware virtualisation - so running and developing under asp.net, would winXP 64 be better for me? (i've also read that is can run slower sometimes)Ĭan someone perhaps point me to resources detailing how to get the best performance out of fusion for this sort of work? Is this something to do with the version of windows i am running (XP Pro SP3)? I've been in msconfig and made sure i'm not restricting the number of CPUs, so perhaps there is something else that i'm missing. So in fusion would i ever see more than that? I've tried in fusion having a single CPU and a dual one but it never goes beyond 50% usage. It seems that under load i only ever have one core (50% cpu running) by looking at the task bar. Now i will also say i've failed to get the results i should be expecting under bootcamp as well (my CPU score is nowhere near what it should be, based on online benchmarks from other people). Now i have been running some benchmarking (Passmark) and have failed to get good CPU results which might be something to do with configuration.

Using Spaces i have a full screen for win xp and can flip between OS X and Win XP perfectly.

I need to run visual studio/SQL server environment on my MacBook Pro 2.53GHz 13" and i'm amazed that it works as seemless as it seems too. I've searched around but not found exactly what i've been looking for so apologies if this is a 'done-to-death' topic.įirstly i'm amazed at what fusion is allowing me to do.
