VMware Fusion is a Type 2 Hypervisor that creates and runs Virtual Machines and does not not include any Guest OSes like Windows.  You need to provide you own copy of an OS you want to install! Smiley Wink

Yes however any Virtual Machine's Guest OS thats uses a hash based product activation key to thwart piracy, like most Windows OSes do, can be problematic in that there is potential for reactivation to occur.  One way to help minimize this is when prompted "This virtual machine might have been moved or copied." always respond "I moved it".
