VMware - Fusion 2, Beta 2

[farbeyond]

Hey Guys,

Not sure if anyone has posted this before but it sure sounds interesting. OS X and OS X Server to be installed under Fusion soon!

As many of you may recall, at Macworld in January, we gave you a preview of Mac OS X Leopard Server installing and running as a virtual machine on Mac OS X.

Well, in honor of Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, currently in full-swing in San Francisco, the VMware Fusion team is excited to announce that Mac OS X Leopard Server will be our 61st supported virtualized operating system, and will be available in VMware Fusion 2.0’s next beta (get the current beta here).


By way of background, all of this is a result of changes Mac OS X Leopard Server’s license agreement, which now allows users to run multiple copies of Mac OS X Server on a single Apple computer.

Virtual Leopard Server is a huge leap forward for Mac server administrators, developers, and more, and we’re truly excited to bring this to the Mac community, in VMware Fusion 2.0, which will be a free upgrade for all VMware Fusion 1.x customers.

And as has lately become our tradition, we’ve put together a short highlight video to get you started, along with more details below.

This is for me great news, I can finally have a development environment on my Mac Book Pro. I just hope we don't have to wait long for Beta 2
