Side by Wrinkled Side - VMWare Fusion

I have jut installed VMWare Fusion. This is an almost magical piece of software that means that you can run Windows at the same time as OSX. The s/w has some trickery that means that your XP (and I am sure Vista) Windows can be scarily interleaved with your Mac windows should you want it. The whole mish-mash is a little strange (and behaves a little strangely) but it means that you can run Visual Studio at the same time as XCode - and conveniently do things like copy/paste between them.

Later in the MFC->OSX port when I will be debugging I think that being able to run XCode and Visual Studio 'side by wrinkled side ... like two old kippers in a box' will save a huge amount of time.
