A powerful virtualization solution, VMware
Fusion allows Mac users to run multiple operating systems on their machines,
simultaneously.
VMware is eager to highlight a few important changes in the free VMware Fusion 3.1.3 release including support for Windows 7 SP1 32-bit & 64-bit (Microsoft Windows 7 Service Pack 1), support for Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 32-bit & 64-bit, improved reliability accessing shared files on the Mac, fixed slow first page loading in Internet Explorer 8, and improved handling of smartphones including the Nokia N8.
That’s not all though. According to the developers, they’ve resolved a ton of other issues with the software.
Albeit less noteworthy, we’re highlighting those that should matter the most to our Mac-using fanbase.
· A Mac OS X Server 10.6.x virtual machine is unable to
access IDE hard disks and CD/DVD drives after the guest is updated to 10.6.5 or
newer. If the boot volume is on an IDE hard disk, the guest will fail to boot.
· Previously, when you created a Mac OS X virtual machine in Fusion, the
virtual machine configuration (.vmx) file contained an absolute path to the
virtual machine disk (.vmdk) file. This setting prevented you from copying the
virtual machine because the copy pointed to the .vmdk file for the original
virtual machine. Now, the .vmx file contains a relative path to the .vmdk file
and you can copy Mac OS X virtual machines.As it is the case with every incremental release of Fusion, all the features from prior releases have been incorporated as well.
