Yes. I installed Palm Desktop and the other installers that came with my Palm TX and all worked perfectly. Strangely Palm lists 4.1.4 as their latest version on the website but mine is a 2005 Palm Desktop is 4.2 – interesting.

When I connected my trusty Palm TX to the MacBook’s USB port it recognized it immediately and proceeded to the HotSync.

However when I tried the connection via bluetooth but it didn’t work. Couldn’t work out the settings! Mind you I never tried to sync via bluetooth on Windows.

There is a Apple Mac version of Palm desktop I could use but I’m happy with the Windows version.

This is a series of posts where I’m listing software I’ve installed on the Fusion drive.

Yes, VMware Fusion for Mac works perfectly with Windows XP Home SP1 and SP2.

I did not have to adjust any ‘special’ settings to make it run. Just ran the Fusion and put the disk in and followed the instructions.
Just make sure you install it within in VMware since the XP boot disk actually boots in OS X first!
