The Intel Mac virtualization scene has had a couple of years to mature now, and things are finally getting exciting. Now, with the latest VMware Fusion 2 release, we’ve left the adolescent phase of Mac virtualization and entered the adult phase, where virtualized Windows really starts to operate in all the ways we expect it to. VMware 2.0’s grown-up form combines an improved interface with some major low-level features, like support for DirectX 9.0c 3D, four-way SMP, driverless printing, and tighter Mac desktop integration. That’s a pretty significant list that should make this release very appealing, even to those who’ve already bought Fusion’s main competitor, Parallels Desktop. So we put this ambitious update through a few weeks of extensive testing to see if it lives up to the hype.
VMware Fusion 2 is available at an academic discount price of $39.
