The good folks at VMware have IT Pros all over excited about the new Beta 2 release for its Fusion 2.0 virtualization software. According to our very own Leigh McMullen, this release is important “because it is the dominant virtualization technology in IT Shops, allowing us to create VM’s on our Macs as a “Lab” machine, that we can later run in production, (or take a production image, and run it on our Macs for experimentation).”
Additional goodies in the new release (which is a free upgrade for users of Fusion 1.x) include Leopard Server Virtualization – Yes, Parallels could already do that, but they charge over a thousand bucks for the version that can – and support for Ubuntu Unity mode – which is a FIRST as far as we know.
