VMWare 3 Promises Improved Performance
I have been using VMWare Fusion fairly regularly for the last 18 months or so, but I've never loved it. I consistently run into seemingly random bottlenecks and slowdowns in system performance despite having tried a number of tricks to improve VM performance and reallocate memory. My fingers are crossed that this update will address these issues. |

BusinessWeek on Using Outlook on a Mac

This Virtual Machine Appears To Be In Use.
Now that I am using VMWare Fusion on a regular basis, I am learning the application a lot better, and this includes how to deal with typical issues that arise with day-to-day usage.

In this state my Windows VM would not start, but I was able to figure out how to resolve the error. |

Making the Move from Entourage to Outlook
I have been using Microsoft Entourage 2008 as the email client on my Mac for almost a year now and while it is not perfect, it provides the best Microsoft Exchange support out-of-the-box of any native Mac email application. That said, about two weeks ago I had to abandon ship on Entourage. I suffered a major Entourage meltdown, and it frustrated me enough that I made a hard switch over to nothing other than Microsoft Outlook. |
