Title: Re: [Fed-Talk] VMware Announces Fusion 1.0 Release
I’ve been using it with my SCR-3310 for about a week without any problems. It actually works better than Parallels.
With parallels I have to manually kill the pcscd so that Parallels can get access to the SC reader. But with vmware it just attaches when I select the device from the usb icon list at the bottom.
Now if we can just get apple to embed a smartcard reader in their laptops.....

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
