ADVERTISEMENTS

VMware released a public beta of its software for Intel-based Macs on Thursday, code-named “Fusion”. This new VMware desktop product for the Mac, 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.

VMware Fusion allows user to run either 32-bit or 64-bit x86 operating systems on Mac OS X without the need to reboot. It also allows you to run multiple virtual machines at the same time as long as you have enough memory to run multiple environments.
Features of VMware Fusion:

• Fusion supports all Intel Mac hardware, including the new 64-bit Mac Pro and iMac.
• Your virtual machines can have multiple virtual processors, taking advantage of the Intel Core Duo chips in today’s newest Intel Macs.
• Fusion supports high-speed USB 2.0 for a huge range of devices. Even devices that do not have drivers for Mac OS X will work in a virtual machine.
• Simply drag and drop files and folders in and out of your virtual machines to transfer your data.
