Fwd: looking for laptop to do java development

first of all I don't have vnware install on my mac book pro

I have it installed on Mac Pro and iMac

2GB/per OS and 2 cores per os (on MacPro)

I don't have to restart guest OS (at least it's not a problem)

I use vmware about 9 months now

I'm using it not for java development, but for c/c++

and very rare for java

how many gb of ram u using for the guest os? how frequent u need to restart the guest os?   does the cpu get heat up for using vmware? how long u have been using vmware this way for development?

can't say about ubuntu
but VMWare with WindowsXP or with debian 4 (x86_64)
are very stable

I undecisive between choosing just simple dell xps or get a macbook pro , install vmware fusion and have a guest ubuntu OS on it. The reason i need a loptop is just purely for java development. I wonder anyone of u using leopard and using using vmware fusion with guest ubuntu OS for java development? I worry about the stability of the operating system by running vmware all the time and wonder does that likely to crash likely? i'm already fed up with vista frequent, program crashing and "prompting finfing solutions"...    looking forward from guru feedback... should i just get a dell or macbook pro?
