Boyd, what's been your CAC experience with Fusion? Particularly
interested in your views on middleware software compatibility and
DBSign (DTS).
I've also downloaded the VMWare Converter but haven't used it yet,
I've got solid XP & Vista images that I need to convert.
Yours Aye, Stephen

I've been running vmware since the early betas. A couple of things
that I
have noticed is that its impact on the host is much less than with
Parallels
especially when also running Rosetta applications like MS Office 2004.
Entourage would frequently lockup (stop responding) with Parallels
running
but it never happens with VMware. I've also found that VMware does
not seem
to leak resources (kernel perhaps?) and memory like Parallels does
- we have
had numerous issues with users having to hard reboot their Macs after
running Parallels for more than 30 mins or so - when Parallels is
closed no
new Mac apps could be started thus the need for a hard reset
(software reset
also usually failed at this point).

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.
<http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/>
<http://www.parallels.com/en/products/desktop/>
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.
