Microsoft Development on a Mac

My best computer setup is my Mac Pro. It’s got a 30″ screen and a 21″ Wacom Cintique screen. So I was thinking, Wouldn’t it be nice to use that for my .Net development environment too?

So as an ongoing project I will be reporting on my experiences running Visual Studio 2010 on my mac. I’m currently using a VMWare VM of Windows server 2008 R2, Which is running in VMWare Fusion 2.0.8.

Mostly I’m using Unity so that the server 2008 windows appear as native windows.

Just because I’m a luddite, I’m keeping a “remote copy” of the GIT repository for each project on a shared folder.

So far the only issue with this has been some minor screen redraw issues.

And a nasty suspicion I would like some more RAM in the box.
