VMWare Fusion to Start Shipping
August 2, 2007 by Marvin
If you're a Mac user looking to run Windows, your options will soon expand because VMWare Fusion will start shipping on August 6th. Unlike Apple's solution (dubbed Boot Camp), VMWare Fusion is similar to Paralells Desktop because it enables Windows to co-exist with Mac OS X.
The folks over at VMWare claim that the software supports virtualizing up to 60 different types of operating systems. There is no limit to the number you have running simultaneously; this is only capped by the amount of memory that your system has.
Compared to Boot Camp, both VMWare Fusion and Parallels Desktop do not require a full restart just to run another operating system. With the addition of features like Unity and Coherence, the guest operating system(s) can exist "transparently".
VMWare Fusion will retail at $79.99, however you can get it for $39.99 if you order early.
