Vmware Fusion in BootCamp?

[avvia]

hi,
I have installed VMware and Windows xp on my Apple iMac G5,it works fine. Running Fusion on a Boot Camp Partition (Win XP) has any advantages?virtual machine also runs faster when Fusion accesses the Boot Camp Partition. Any ideas?

Boot Camp: Windows sees the wireless/wired ethernet interfaces and Bluetooth adapter.
Fusion: Windows will never see a wireless adapter (we only present a wired interface), and will only see the Bluetooth adapter if you give it to the guest (don't do this if you have a Bluetooth mouse/keyboard since the host will no longer be able to use them).

Native speed would be the primary reason.

Boot Camp allows for multiple booting. Installing Vista with Boot Camp requires an NTFS partition and the actual OS is run. If full Windows functionality like support for USB devices is needed, Boot Camp, may be the better option. The downfalls -- no interaction between OS X and Windows environment and the system has to be restarted to switch between OSes.
VMware Fusion offers comparable features and functionality as Parallels Desktop. Guest OS is easy to setup, and while creating a Vista VM there were no problems with driver compatibility or network adapters. Before creating a VM, the program gives the option of creating it as read only or write-only, a useful additional feature.
