(You can turn these off in the Preferences). You can also enable the virtual battery in Fusion by shutting down your VM, then selecting the Virtual Machine -> Settings menu and enabling the Battery checkbox. Unity is also experimentally supported in Vista with Release Candidate 1, although there are some oddities with the Sidebar. You can enable snapshots and suspend in the Boot Camp VM, but you must not reboot into the physical partition, or you'll invalidate and corrupt your snapshots and suspend state. Browse to ~/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp/... and look for the .vmx file inside the Boot Camp VM directory. If you open it in a text editor, it'll be pretty clear on how to enable snapshots and suspend.
