I'm running Vista and AHK under VMWare Fusion on a Mac. When I run in windowed or full screen mode, AHK works flawlessly. If I run in Unity mode (which interleaves Vista and Mac windows), AHK is completely ignored, even when a Windows application or the taskbar has focus.

I expect this is a weirdness with VMWare, but I thought I'd check around and see if anyone else has this problem or knows of a work-around.

Can you share with us how you get it to work "flawlessly"?
I can't get keystrokes to the guest VM at all, w/o installing AHK on every VM which seems highly redundant...

Lets think about this a little bit, huh?

Since, AHK does not run on a Mac, it is obviously not installed on the host machine and is installed in the VM.
