Around a few months back the final version of the Parallels Desktop for Mac 3.0 was released. Since then VMware has released its forthcoming software for the mac called VMware Fusion which will operate Windows and other operating systems on a Mac. Now if your unfamiliar with virtualization it is simply the ability to run another operating system in a virtual machine (VM) while still running the host operating system (Mac OS X) Here are some things that you can do with VMware Fusion:
1) If you have a few Windows application that you can't live without such as Outlook, Windoes Media Player (Does have a mac version), Microsoft Project, AutoCAD, Solidworks. Now you don't have to keep your PC. VMware fusion can run your favorite Windows applications.
2) You would think that having two computer operating systems would increase the use and horsepower of your system. But it doesn't it is just like opening a normal application like Photoshop and running your operations.
3) You can use Windows hardware inside your VMware environment. Such as WiFi USB adapter, printers, MP3 Player (But why would you with itunes)
4)You can now bring your Mac to work. Most businesses today run on a PC based platform. Now you can bring your mac to work and run all the enterprise PC based software.
5) On top of just running Windows, you can run Linux, Solaris, Server..etc. In fact there are about 60 x86 compliant operating systems for your Mac and more are being added to their website every day.
So If you own a mac and a PC on the same machine. VMware is the application for you. It will save time and save money by using virtualization to power your life and your business. This technology is so innovating that it will allow you to run multiple virtual servers. Check it out!!!
