VMWare Fusion 1.1.1 - Available for download
I just wanted to post this little reminder for folks to do their upgrade. I have been very happy with Fusion since jumping over from parallels about a year ago.
One of my biggest pet peeves about fusion was that when I started my Boot Camp partition it always asked for my password. But the box that popped up didn’t have focus so I had to actually grab it and then input my password. So stupid but I am not a mouse guy, I move via the keyboard, and this was a big issue for me. That has been fixed.
I see on the site that they are claiming Directx 9 support now. I am not much of a gamer but that has to be some good news for someone out there.
I did the upgrade and updated my vmware tools and have not had a lick of trouble. So remember to go update, cuz they might have fixed something that bothers you too

I ***LOVE*** VMWare Fusion.
Parallels 2 (which I started with) just paled in comparison. I was a little sad, since Parallels allowed me to really be productive with a Mac in a mostly-Windows office, but it just crunched my CPU too much. Parallels would belly-ache along at 25% - 35% CPU when idling; Fusion whispers at about 6%.
Can’t speak to how Parallels 3 runs; I had the option of paying to upgrade to Parallels 3 or switching to VMWare Fusion, and I switched to Fusion.
Since you have endorsed the latest VMWare update, I will fetch it immediately.

Interestingly, I installed it on my wife’s mac yesterday. My son enjoys the Jumpstart World games and they would not run in 1.1 but they do run in 1.1.1.
Do you know if you can use an existing Parallels image on VM Fusion?
they have an image converter. So the switch is way painless. I am actually typing this from the dentist chair. I am so adicted to the Internet
damn. iPhone enablement!
