The R2 idea was tossed out, as I refused to add a second Virtual NIC, because then (For some reason, small bug or misconfiguration I think) it would hang my host card. Still have not tested the behavior of it on a Mac, but IвЂ™m assuming the speeds and performance would be similar to my PC, as they both have more than 2 GB of RAM, along with a Core i5 in the newer, entry level MacBook Pro.ДЇusion is also very nice, as itвЂ™s cheaper than Workstation (My workstation license was about $200, but I use it almost daily, and havenвЂ™t had any regrets with that purchase ) Boot and operation, however, was quite fast.

Agreeing with the slow part, took 6 1/2 hours to install Windows Server 2008 R2 with none of the bells and whistles (During which, a process hung because of the lack of a second NIC, had to restart the install from there). I went out to the electronics store today (Sale on 32GB flash drives, woo!) and bought a drive. Never had any major issues with video performance, I used to do a lot of CAD in Solidworks and VMWare on my old mac. And if you are looking at multiple copies I bet they have pretty nice volume breaks. I think when I bought my license it was $50. VMWare Fusion for Mac is pretty nice, I use it on a regular basis both for work and home. IвЂ™ll also say that I have no experience with using a Mac as a host for VMвЂ™s, so I donвЂ™t know if the video performance is on par with whatвЂ™s needed.ДЈ2GB flash drives are s-l-o-w when installing an OS вЂ“ be patient.

Last year we used a Google Code repository with TortoiseSVN to share our files.

YouвЂ™ll also want to be careful of where the data gets stored. You can try it yourself (VirtualBox is free, and so is Linux) if you want to test performance. VirtualBox is free, and while its OpenGL rendering within a Linux Guest on a Windows Host is pretty good when in вЂњSeamlessвЂќ mode (a pretty sweet mode btw), IвЂ™m not sure what the results will be on a Mac. VMWare is decent for rendering a 3D model in a VM, but itвЂ™s $180 per person. IвЂ™ve deployed KVM (Linux) in a production environment and poked around with VMWare/VirtualBox.
