This is unlikely to change in the future. If you run this in VMware, then you get the best out of both word. By running Windows 8 natively, you lost the most valuable feature on a Mac, your mulit touch trackpad. It’s very sluggish when moving the mouse with the trackpad. If you have Windows 8 installed via Boot Camp and running natively on your Mac, you will find all the sudden your trackpad isn’t as sensitive as before.
While we are still waiting for this entire process to be unfold, the best way to run a Windows 8 at least for now is to run it inside VMware Fusion with Boot Camp. The end result would be adding more support for people to run Windows 8 on their Mac. Given the current software status of Windows 8, VMware fusion and Apple’s Boot Camp technology, each are on the verge of releasing a new version.

If your PC is ready, download the Windows XP Mode EXE file from the Microsoft website (named WindowsXPMode_en-us.exe).The operating system you use will also need to be supported by VirtualBox, the software we’ll be using to run Windows XP.
