I have a MacBook Pro with Fusion and use VMware primarily for extended compatibility. I find that I have a very rich base of software under my XP machine, and under Windows 7 I have IE9 and that's about it. My software won't install.
My understanding of what is going on is that Windows 7 wants to install VirtualPC, and the present VirtualPC does not see virtualization hardware, which it can. However, some older version of VirtualPC, 2007 I think, does not require virtualization hardware and will run, if perhaps a bit painfully.
Is there a HOWTO to get Windows 7 willing to talk with binaries from XP?
