VMWare virtualisation for Mac
VMWare have announced a beta version of their virtualisation technology for Intel-based Macs, codenamed Fusion.
The new VMware desktop product for the Mac, codenamed Fusion, 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.
This looks like a promising competitor to Parallels and further advances the Mac as a real alternative. It also comes in handy for Rails developers when testing their latest website with Internet Explorer.
