VMWare is out with a public beta of the 2.0 upgrade for their Mac-based virtualization program Fusion. One problem — you can’t run the beta alongside the current 1.1.1 issue because the beta overwrites it. So I’ll be holding off for a good long time. But in an excellent first look review, Macworld’s Rob Griffiths has the run down on how the many improvements are functioning so far, including better 3D graphics, printer set-up and dual screen support. Still he warns:
While writing this article, in fact, I experienced a couple of crashes with Fusion 2.0, though none that affected the VMs. In an era when the “beta” tag gets slapped on a lot of perfectly usable products, sometimes we can forget that, for some products, beta really does mean beta. This version of VMware Fusion is one of those products
Consider yourself warned!
