VMware Fusion 2 Beta Released

VMware just announced a public beta of their OS X virtualization product, Fusion. Fusion 2.0 will be a free upgrade to all registered users.

Already it addresses a number of issues I've had including:

  • Multiple monitor support
  • Correctly handles plugging & unplugging display
  • Option to use one or all displays in Full Screen mode
  • Handles changes to resolution and display orientation automatically
  • Allow USB mice/tablets in a virtual machine without custom configuration
    Note: I just barely wrote about how to work around this in Fusion 1.1.2.
  • Virtual machines in Bridged networking mode now know when your Mac's network connection is available or becomes unavailable, and will refresh their network address automatically
    Note:     This is HUGE. When I'm moving between home and my downtown office networking is always an issue.
  • DirectX 9.0 with Shader Model 2 graphics

Full release notes are here, lightweight notes and sample videos are here, download Fusion 2 beta here.
