It's WWDC time again and its time to check out the latest Beta and test things.

Preparing the VM to Install a Beta Release.

Installing a Release Version of MacOS on VMWare Fusion.

There have been reports about OS X Server VMs quitting if you leave them running all night, but weâ€™ve been unable to reproduce this error across MacBooks, MacPros and Mac Minis. Weâ€™ve also been taking advantage of the new scripting interface to enhance automation for Fusion. We then brought a Windows Server 2008 VM up and built a triangle out of the 3.

But once we got the Server installed, we created a snapshot of it, promoted the first VM to an OD Master and then changed the IP and promoted the second VM to a Replica. As for ease of use, when we inserted a Mac OS X Server DVD into one machine, VMware immediately opened a new VM creation wizard. The vide drivers have been updated to handle HD and DirectX9 better than before. Fusion Beta 2 will use less memory resources and run faster with new code enhancements.

Beta 2 also mirrors files to your Windows VM so your applications can access them seamlessly, supports keyboard shortcuts and shortcut mapping and supports multiple-snapshots allowing you to automatically protect your VM from those gotchaâ€™s that can cause it (or itâ€™s OS more likely) to become corrupt.įusion Beta 2 is also faster and easier to use. This means you can open Windows applications without running them inside the VMware window, put them in the dock, minimize each one on its own and it integrates with Expose. You can setup Mac OS X Server as a guest OS in VMware Fusion beta 2.įor those looking to obtain access to specific Windows applications, VMware Beta 2 also supports the new Unity 2.0 feature that allows you to run a Windows application like you would run any Mac application. Why would you want to download it? Well, if youâ€™re into running VMs of Mac OS X Server then this is really a great product.

VMware Fusion beta 2 is now available for download.
