Following the final updated version of Parallels, VMware have countered with the second beta version of their upcoming Fusion product. As usual the beta can be obtained here and features numerous enhancements and features such as those outlined below:

• Experimental 3-D graphics support – Play a selection of DirectX 8.1 games in Windows XP Service Pack 2 virtual machines.
• Snapshot feature – Roll back your virtual machine to a known good state when something goes wrong in your virtual machine – for example, when your virtual machine picks up a virus, or when a software upgrade causes problems.
• Improved networking – Automatically bridge to the computer's primary network interface.
  Full support for Airport wireless networking, including virtual machines behind a NAT firewall and bridged to the local Airport network.
  Support for up to ten virtual network interfaces
• Improved Microsoft Vista support – Support for Microsoft Vista Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate editions.
  Complete VMware Tools support for Microsoft Vista including copy/paste, dragging and dropping files, shared folders, and screen resizing.
• Improved hardware editor – Add additional virtual hard drives to a virtual machine for needed capacity.
  View the physical computer's battery status in the virtual machine.
• Improved full screen mode – Support for plugging and unplugging displays while virtual machines are in full screen mode.
  Improved usability: an on-screen tip shows how to enter and exit full screen mode easily.
• Experimental support for Mac OS X Leopard – You can now install and run VMware Fusion on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). Support is experimental because Mac OS X 10.5 is not yet released. Fusion will support the release version of OS X 10.5 in the final VMware Fusion release.
