Including one very nice review from Walt Mossberg at the Wall Street Journal.

Oh – and the lady in the picture on the WSJ Site ? That’s the Fusion Engineering Manager !

Steven Frank – one of the authors of Coda a great HTML Editor for Mac OS X has a nice post on the new Unity 2.0 Guest/Host Integration features in Fusion I worked on :

He pretty much describes the raison-d-etre for the URL/Browser sharing portions of the feature.

Fusion 2.0 Beta 2

awk — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 00:39:15 +0000

Fusion 2.0 Beta 2 is now available This beta update includes what I’ve been working on since I joined VMware earlier this year – the new Guest/Host Integration features.

Along with colleagues on the Fusion UI team this new feature allows you to launch an application on windows by double-clicking on a document on the Mac (useful if you have Office for Windows installed in the Virtual Machine and you get sent a word document). You can also now click on a link in Outlook in Windows in the Virtual Machine and have the URL open in your default Mac OS Browser (Safari, Firefox etc.). Useful if you just want to use your windows VM for a few apps you can’t run natively on Mac OS.

Check it out !
