VMware, a virtualisation software maker has wheeled out the beta version of an Intel-based Mac virtual machine that claims to compete with Parallels Desktop, the Apple-endorsed program that lets users run Windows and Linux on Mac computers.
The final version of VMware's Fusion will run operating systems including Windows, Linux, Netware, and Solaris—on an Intel-based Macintosh together with the Mac's own operating system.
"VMware virtual machines created with existing VMware products are all cross-compatible, including virtual machines created by VMware Workstation, VMware Player, VMware Server, and VMware Infrastructure 3," the developer said on its Web site.
According to the company, Fusion requires a host Intel-based Mac with 512 MB of memory (1 GB recommended) running Mac OS X 10.4.7 or 10.4.8; the beta will run virtual machines powered by Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista, Ubuntu 6.10, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 4, or Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10.
The beta can be downloaded here.
