VMware has announced that VMware Fusion 3 will be available worldwide on October 27 and is available for pre-order today.
VMware Fusion 3 makes it easier than ever for users to move to the Mac and to run Windows applications — including graphics-intensive games — alongside Mac applications, with a Mac user experience. VMware Fusion 3 will include more than 50 new features and enhancements, delivering a better-than-ever Windows on Mac experience.
Key highlights include:
- Optimized for Snow Leopard. Built from the ground up for the Mac, VMware Fusion 3 leverages Mac OS X Snow Leopard’s advanced architecture with a new 64-bit core engine and native support for the 64-bit kernel, delivering even better Windows on Mac performance.
- Ultimate Windows 7 Experience. VMware Fusion 3 will be the first to enable the full Windows 7 experience, side-by-side with your Mac, complete with Windows Aero and Flip 3D.
- Switching Made Easy. VMware Fusion 3 will make it easy for users to bring their entire PC to their Mac in a few easy steps — wirelessly or with a simple Ethernet cable — allowing customers to protect investments in existing Windows software, and to keep using the programs they still need.
- Best-in-Class 3D Graphics. Support for OpenGL 2.1 and DirectX 9.0c Shader Model 3 will enable users to run their favorite 3D Windows games and applications — all without rebooting.
VMware Fusion 3 is now available for pre-orders at vmware.com/fusion, the Apple Online Store and Amazon.com for a suggested retail price of $79.99 starting today. VMware Fusion 3 will be available at the VMware online store and all authorized retailers worldwide on Tuesday, October 27.
