VMware Fusion permanent deal


VMware Fusion 4.1 costing less.

VMware Fusion Promos are finished. Wait, not really. The latest promo which saved you $30 on the full price 79.90 is now permanent…. It means that the new price of VMware 4.1 is now only $49.99

The latest VMware Fusion brought more than 90 new features and is optimized for multi-core Macs and OS X Lion.

Some of the new features has been already reported on my website here – with video.

The competitors of VMware Fusion, Parallels costs $79.99 (and €79.99 in Europe – can’t ever understand that).

VMware Fusion has been also rewarded during the recent MAC World.

A quick quote from the article:

General performance: VMware Fusion 4 is faster than Parallels Desktop 7 in 9 out of 11 of the general performance tests!

Virtualization: “If you want to explore operating systems other than Windows, Fusion offers a much broader universe of alternatives”. VMware Fusion 4 offers the ability to virtualize more than 200 operating systems including Windows 7, Windows XP, OS X Lion as well as dozens of versions of Linux. VMware Fusion 4 also benefits from VMware’s broad ecosystem of “virtual appliances” which is 19 times larger than Parallels’.

Price: At $49.99 for unlimited personal use, VMware Fusion 4 is far more affordable than Parallels Desktop 7 ($79.99SRP) which requires one license per machine. For example, if you have 3 Macs and would like to install a virtualization solution on your Macs for personal use, VMware Fusion 4 will cost you $49.99 while Parallels Desktop 7 will cost you more than 4 times that.

Installation and general operation: “Installing Fusion 4 is surprisingly simple […]. Parallels, by contrast, is installed via an installer, its extensions are installed in the System folder and are always present, even when Desktop isn’t running. In addition, two background processes continue to run after you quit Parallels.”

Mac Integration“[…] if you’re going to the trouble of using an integrated mode, chances are you want your Windows apps to behave just like your Mac ones. And in that case it makes more sense to treat the windows the way Fusion does.”
