Then I got good recommendations to try VirtualBox, which is both open source and free as in beer, and was glad to see there are ways to easily move your VMWare images to VirtualBox. Got Win 7 working there with no problems, which is not what I can say about the VPN setup. So I bought Windows 7 online and downloaded the 3GB iso image and VMWare Fusion for OS X which happens to have a 30-day trial. Previously I had used Amazon EC2 whenever I needed to use windows, to avoid license costs, 20GB of my drive wasted and the CPU/RAM overhead, but this time there was no way out, didn’t seem cool to store the VPN credentials on a public cloud instance, although it’s probably as safe. Their VPN solution only works (or is supported) on Windows, plus the need to test a few things on Internet Explorer □ I recently had to start using Windows to connect to a client’s VPN network.
