VMware Fusion 2.0 Beta 1


It looks like VMware has dropped a public beta of VMware Fusion 2.0 to the public. There are too many new features in this release to mention, so I will just share the link:

http://communities.vmware.com/community/beta/fusion

Be sure to check the release notes to see if they impact your work before upgrading to this beta release.

Items of interest I took away from the release notes:

  • Use Fn+M to simulate the non-existent insert key in Windows (hello R#)
  • Multiple display support for virtual machines (hello second monitor)
  • Improved compatibility with Visual Studio (not sure what this is yet)

Be sure to check it out!

There are some bugs when using VS. The one that got me the most was not being able to use black background in the text editor because the cursor will remain black and become invisible.

I got around that by changing to the high visibility cursor set in 2003.
