Unity Rocks!

The title of this post is slightly misleading to at least my fiancée, but the "Unity" feature of VMWare is pretty sweet. I'm not running Windows Vista in a virtual machine with the windows showing up alongside my OS X windows. It's pretty sweet functionality, and is rather seamless.

The Windows-on-a-Mac stuff seems rather "dirty" but I now have a fast, portable Leopard and Vista machine. Also, rebooting would be annoying. Now, I can have my browser and IM clients in OS X, and only the "essentials" on Windows. I'm currently installing Steam so I can play Portal.

So how did Portal end up working on your machine?

While booting Windows, it ran at 1024x768 with some problems occasionally. It did well enough. The fan ran all the time, though, so I doubt it was very good for the machine.
