Ho ho ho … Look at those gifts Santa left us under the Christmas tree.

VMWare Fusion Beta: Download here

So VMWare released a beta to the public but even if you had the private
version, you should grab this public release, as its a completely new build!

Parallels New Beta 2: Download here

The cool stuff about this update are:

– USB 2.0 support
– Now you can burn CDs and DVDs from the virtual machine.
– Improved coherence mode
– Better Boot camp support!
– NTFS partition supported now!
– No Windows re-activation each time you switch between Boot Camp and Parallels

And many more…!

The boot camp feature is still grayed out on OSX86.
Still need to find a workaround for those GUID partitions required.

This is not really new, but it will take which ever windows you have open and fly them
around your screen, flip, twist and twirl them around in an impressive eye candy way.

Best of all, It is free.
