I just switched to a MacBook air and was wondering the best way to run windows 7? Should I dual boot it or utilize vmware fusion. The MacBook air has the i7 proessor, 4 gb of ram. Basically it was the high end 13 inch version. If I use fusion what sort of resources should I dedicate to the vm ram, CPU, storage etc.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
