tuaw.com— Some beta testers that we won't name for their own protection have let us know that VMWare is now ready to take Parallels to task in the desktop virtualization market with Fusion.

"It just ticks me off a little that people make assumptions that VMWare is going to come to the party late and destroy Parallels."I think the assumption is that VMWare has many years more experience in virtualization than Parellels does. I'm not sure why you think they're the last ones when they are the company that popularized virtualization. I gather that nearly everyone who's into virtualization today was introduced to it by VMWare. All they're doing now is porting it to the Mac.
Lame.Notice the "pro's" are each mentioned five times a piece.Competition is great, but I wouldn't get my hopes up of being "better" than P.Parallels and "converting" current VM's, - I'm sure isn't too far off. ;)
Fusion is a Mac emulator for AmigaOS. First M$ takes Zune (the AROS GUI) as their name, now VMWare takes Fusion (the Amiga Mac emulator) as their name. What's next?

Thank you for making this private beta public for the masses! You are the greatest!

Apple should have bought VMWare long ago and dropped the Windows Version.

I just installed the official VMWare package last week and it already let me choose how many CPUs it would emulate.
