Hello world! \u00a0Desktop virtualization just got a whole lot better with the release of VMware Fusion 4<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ve been using internal builds of Fusion 4 for months, which is one of the perks of being a VMware employee1<\/a><\/sup>. \u00a0It’s been awesome to watch it come together. \u00a0I’ve especially liked the performance improvements. \u00a0As a 64-bit Cocoa app, it got a fair performance boost over Fusion 3 just from that. \u00a0The development team has also done some performance tuning that’s turned it up a couple of notches too.<\/p>\n

Personally, I’ve got a Win7 VM on my work machine right now. \u00a0I keep on meaning to burn through a bunch of disk space and install a bunch of other OSes2<\/a><\/sup>, and with the Win8 preview out there, I’ll probably check that one out too.<\/p>\n

Fusion 4 is $50 through the end of the year, and I hear that there are coupon codes out there (as of this writing, I see that there’s one in the comments of the blog post I linked above) to knock it down even further. \u00a0Go forth and purchase!<\/p>\n
