What is VMware's virtualization product for Mac?
The new VMware desktop product for the Mac, codenamed Fusion,
allows Intel-based Macs to run x86 operating systems, such as
Windows, Linux, NetWare and Solaris, in virtual machines at the
same time as Mac OS X. It is built on VMware's rock-solid and
advanced desktop virtualization platform that is used by over four
million users today.
With Fusion, you can run traditional PC applications on your Mac:
if you need to run PC applications, you can now do so by leveraging
the power of virtual machine technology.
Fusion allows you to:
Create and run a wide variety of 32- and 64-bit x86 operating
systems on OS X without rebooting. You can simultaneously run PC
applications next to your OS X applications.
Leverage Virtual SMP capabilities to gain additional performance
improvements. On any Mac with dual-core processors, you can assign
multiple CPUs to your virtual machine to gain additional
performance for CPU-intensive workloads.
Access physical devices from the virtual machine: read and burn CDs
and DVDs, and use USB 2.0 devices like video cameras, iPods,
printers, and disks at full speed. Even devices that do not have
drivers for OS X will work in a virtual machine.
Drag and drop files and folders between OS X and virtual machines
to easily share data between the two environments.
Leverage the cross-compatibility of VMware virtual machines. VMware
virtual machines created with existing VMware products are all
cross compatible, including virtual machines created by VMware
Workstation, VMware Player, VMware Server and VMware Infrastructure 3.
Run any of the 360 virtual appliances available from the Virtual
Appliance Marketplace (http://vam.vmware.com).
