VMware Announces Fusion 1.0 Release

VMware has announced that after seven months of beta testing, Fusion
version 1.0 will ship today, 06-Aug-07. Fusion is VMware's
virtualization software that enables Intel-based Macs to run Windows
alongside Mac OS X; it competes closely with Parallels Desktop for
Mac.

Among Fusion's notable features are Unity, a mode in which windows
from Windows applications intermingle with windows from Mac
applications - including full support for Exposé and minimizing
windows to the Dock; support for 64-bit guest operating systems (if
your Mac has a 64-bit processor); multiple virtual processors for
Windows applications that require them; and the capability to run
virtual appliances (packages that contain one or more pre-configured
applications, along with an operating system) from VMware's Virtual
Appliance Marketplace.
Some of the known issues in Release Candidate 1 of Fusion still
exist. For example, when using Fusion to run a copy of Windows Vista
installed under Boot Camp, you must reactivate Windows each time you
switch between Boot Camp and Fusion. VMware plans to address this
and other problems in future releases. Fusion retails for $79.99 and
a free 30-day evaluation version is available.
