Is Aero supported on a MacBook with on-board Intel Display Adapter ?
I could not get aero to work on my MacBook with VMware Fusion.
No, according to the requirements listed above, you need an ATi or nVidia card. Intel won't work.
Please be aware that the storage minimum is unrealistic. With 3 Gigabytes it is possible to run Fusion without Mac OSX progs running. To use the system freely then 4 Gigs of memory are required. This allows at least two virtual machines to run and several OSX progs.
If there is enough memory available then Fusion works correctly.
Nevermind - I reinstalled 3.1 and now it's working! It seems to have been an install hiccup.
Is this supported on OS X Lion?
