Public Beta of VMWare Fusion 3.1 Delivers Long Awaited Enhancements
VMWare has announced the availability of the beta version of Fusion 3.1, and it includes significant enhancements that the user community has been awaiting. Perhaps most eagerly desired are the graphics enhancements for gamers and 3D applications. OpenGL 2.1 is now supported on Windows Vista and Windows 7. They claim better DirectX 9.0 SM3 performance as well (and hopefully that means more DirectX 9.0C app compatibility).
Other new features include USB "Easy Connect", a feature that is designed to help Fusion remember your preferred settings for each USB device. You can configure larger virtual machines as well, with the maximum virtual disk expanded from 950 GB to 2 TB. They now support up to 8-way symmetric multiprocessing as well.
