VMware Fusion 2.0.1 Gets Performance Boost
Hot on the heels of Parallel’s new Parallels Desktop 4 for Mac, VMware has updated Fusion to version 2.0.1 adding a new performance boost. The new release will begin to ship Friday and will include a performance boost due to better CPU utilization and the patching of several previously unresolved issues.
Other improvements focus on better performance when running 3D applications (including games and applications like Google Earth with 3D hardware acceleration) on the latest new MacBook and MacBook Pro and MacBook Air systems.
Unity view has been improved, there are new hints in the Help menu and improvements to sharing, including nested folders and publishing Windows guest applications to the Mac. Fusion 2 users can download the latest release starting tomorrow here.
