I am running VMware Fusion on a Mac Mini. I am using VMware Fusion to launch Windows 7 and applications such as Microsoft Word. I am using Jaws to access Windows 7. The performance of Windows in general and Jaws in particular is very slow and funky on this installation. Has anyone had good success with VMware on a Mac Mini running Jaws in Windows 7? Do you have any tips for improving the performance? Are there ways of customizing Fusion to improve performance?
Thanks for any suggestions!

With this configuration, Windows 7 and Jaws running in VMware Fusion seems too slow and funky to be useful. Any comments or suggestions you may have will be much appreciated.
