Ideas for end of support for Windows XP on Fusion for MAC

Suggested topics:

 

1.     How secure is my MAC from cross platform attacks

          a.     when Fusion is not running?

          b.     when Fusion is running, but Windows is not; e.g, VM loader program running in MAC background

          c.     when Windows is running on Fusion?

          This topic should assume the obvious such as disabled Java and running a serious antivirus program on the XP machine

 

2.     Should someone at VMWare write a white paper on how to secure their MAC when XP exists in Fusion?

 

3.     Considering that 30% of the windows machines running today are XP, is there a market opportunity for VMware to develop a way to secure a virtual XP machine?  I'm thinking about 30% of Microsoft's installed base buying a VMware product so they can continue safely (relative to current "safety" of Microsoft supported XP) using XP.

 

I loathe the thought of buying Windows 8 so that I can continue running fully supported VBasic.  If it weren't for that, I'd dump Windows in a heartbeat.  The MAC version of Office does not offer a good Visual Basic solution.
