VMWare Fusion - Jim Innes - August 6, 2007
I just purchased VMWare Fusion... IMHO the best option for Windows on a Mac so far. Anyone else tried it?
Fusion Offers Latest Option for Running Windows on a Mac http://ptech.allthingsd.com/
Starting next week, there’ll be a new way to run Windows applications on a Mac. VMWare’s Fusion. “As I write this column on a Mac laptop using the Mac version of Microsoft Word,” Walt Mossberg (Wall Street Journal) reports, “Fusion is allowing me to simultaneously run several popular Windows programs—Microsoft Outlook, Windows Media Player and Internet Explorer. Each is running in its own window, just as if it were a native Mac program. I can switch from one to the other rapidly and smoothly. Their icons show up on the Mac’s ‘Dock’ just like the icons for Mac programs.” Software like Fusion, concludes Mossberg, gives “the Macintosh a level of versatility that can’t be matched by Windows-only machines.”

I have to wonder if this will stifle OS X software development. Developers will say, why bother with an OS X version?
