VMWare Fusion: Beta version 3

VMWare Fusion releases the third version of its virtualization solution aiming to compete with parallels.
The new version fixes known bugs and brings many new features:

- Improved performance: You now have the option of turning off debugging features in VMware Fusion to enjoy even better performance.
- Support for Boot Camp: You no longer have to choose between Windows or Mac-run Windows XP side-by-side with Mac OS X off your existing Boot Camp partition.
- Windows Easy Install: Just answer a few simple questions, insert your Windows CD, and VMware Fusion will automatically create a Windows virtual machine that is optimized for your Mac.
- Virtual machine packages: Virtual machines are now encapsulated in single, easy-to-manage packages. Move your virtual machines to another hard drive or Mac simply by copying a file.
- Enhanced virtual machine management: Managing multiple virtual machines and changing virtual machine settings is even easier with the Virtual Machine Library.
- Improved international support: European and Japanese Apple keyboards now work properly in virtual machines.

Fusion seems to be maturing well, however it remains unclear if WMWare will be able to catch up Parallels, its key feature remaining the preliminary native 3D support.
