FM on a Mac

Just wondering if anyone has tried this ..

When installing FM (8 or 9) in a VMWare image of Windows XP on a Mac .. 
install to a "Shared" folder (mounted with a drive letter) so that the 
installation files will be available to other images of Windows on that 
computer. It seems that in theory this should work, but I have a feeling 
that I'd need to clone the registry entries between the various 
instances of Windows. This may not be too hard for multiple instances of 
the same OS version (XP), but what if I wanted to be able to use the 
same installation of FM for XP and Vista (and 7)?

It's probably not a good idea at all .. just wondering if anyone else 
has tried this.  :)

Thanks!
