Starting VMware Fusion
To start VMware Fusion
In the Applications folder, double-click VMware Fusion.
The Virtual Machine Library window is displayed. From this window, you can
create a virtual machine, browse for an existing virtual machine to open, open a
virtual machine you have used recently, or go to the VMware Technology
Network Web site to download preconfigured virtual machines.
For instructions on configuring, running, and closing VMware Fusion, see the
VMware Fusion help.
Creating Your Windows Virtual Machine with
Windows Easy Install
When you create a Windows virtual machine, you can use VMware Fusion’s
Windows Easy Install feature to automatically install Windows and VMware Tools
in your virtual machine. VMware Fusion will create your virtual machine,
automatically select the default Windows installation options, and install
VMware Tools, which loads the drivers required to optimize your virtual
machine’s performance. You can also choose to have Windows Easy Install
automatically make your home folder available to Windows as a shared folder, so
you can share files between the virtual machine and your Mac.
Windows Easy Install is available for the following Windows operating systems:
 Windows Vista 32-bit, Windows XP, Windows 2000
