VMWare released the third installment of it's beta release of Fusion, it's desktop virtualization product for OS X. I wrote some detailed notes at when I explored the Beta 2 release. You can try it out yourself, if you like.
The biggest change that I noticed about the Beta 3 release is that you can now turn off debugging. I don't think it's a huge win in terms of performance, but clearly, if you were going to compare Fusion performance with Parallels, you'd want that off. Of course, even if did make such a comparison, you couldn't write about it because of VMWare licensing restrictions.
VMWare also says that Fusion provides better integration with Bootcamp, the provision Apple made for running Windows on it's hardware, added improved international support, and made some changes to how virtual machines are managed.
One enhancement I wanted to explore was the "easy installation" feature for Windows. When you start a Windows install, you get a screen that asks for the information Windows would normally ask during the course of a normal install.
