A late update for my on going experience with VMWare Fusion on my Macbook this time. You see everything is going well so I didn’t feel the need to write anything interesting – which is good.

However during May I was forced to install Microsoft’s ActiveSync, needless to say that this piece of software is still not working properly. Sure combined with Outlook and the Windows Mobile 6 PDA and smartphone – all run the basic software bundle you’d expect stability? Well the answer is no the whole thing is still unstable. Duplicated the set up on the Vista PC and the same results. Very disappointing.

The problem is not Fusion issue because all the settings where simply standard – nothing fancy no proxies or weird connections or software.

Does VMware work with ActiveSync?

Yes, ActiveSync 4.5 (Build 5096) works perfectly with the virtual XP installation.  I use ActiveSync for my Windows Mobile based IPAQ 110 that Sync’s with Outlook 2002.  It works perfectly.
