This is the software publisher's description.

From the virtualization industry leader comes VMware Fusion. Simply the best way to run Windows, Linux, or Solaris at the same time as Mac OS X - without rebooting.

Built from the ground up for the Mac, VMware Fusion leverages nearly a decade of virtualization expertise to harness the full power of your Mac hardware, while still supporting Windows-only applications, USB 2.0 devices, 64-bit, and accelerated 3D graphics.

Say goodbye to the Windows desktop - seamlessly run Windows XP applications just like Mac applications; use Exposé to switch between any application, minimize to the Dock, bring forward only the application you care about, and use familiar Mac keyboard shortcuts. Use the VMware Fusion Launch Palette to easily access all your Windows applications, and keep your favourite Windows applications in the Dock.

VMware Fusion 1.0 RC1 contains a number of new features such as Unity, which enables you to open and view Windows applications on your Mac desktop. Other new features include improved support for accessing a Bootcamp partition through VMware Fusion (so you do not need to re-install Windows, if you already have Bootcamp installed) and basic-level support for Windows Vista.

This updated 1.0 RC1 contains basic support for the forthcoming Mac OS X 'Leopard' and improved support for the Santa Rosa chipset within the new MacBook Pros.

Note that you need to register to obtain your beta-testing serial code.
