Running Sharepoint Services on a Mac with VMware Fusion

SharePointServer2007_webRobert Grissom over at the GSR Solutions Blog has a cool post up on how to run  Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 on a Mac using VMware Fusion

He’s using VMware Fusion to run a Windows Server 2003 virtual machine, on top of which he is installing Sharepoint Server, before deploying it to production. All from the safety of his MacBook Pro. 

I’m looking forward to seeing if he’s going to run the production service on a VM on an Xserve, running Fusion!  Wouldn’t that be the coolest?

He notes that this is going to be the first in a series, so it might be worthwhile to subscribe to his blog if you’re an IT professional who administers Sharepoint, but runs a Mac as your weapon of computing choice.
