A new simplified interface makes it easier for users to create new virtual machines and handle other routine tasks. On the front end, the new virtual machine library overview window loads faster, and shows real time views of your virtual machines-even if its windows are hidden or it’s running in Unity mode. Virtual machines will also launch more quickly than they did in Fusion 2. Fusion 3 will support multiple cores in virtual machines, as opposed to the multiple CPUs supported in Fusion 2. Users will be able to copy and paste not just text but graphics as well between Windows and OS X. Dragging windows in Unity mode will be notably faster than before, and CPU usage is lower than it was previously. VMware has worked toward improved performance throughout the application, reducing memory usage where possible and adding small refinements. Finally, a new Fusion menu bar icon provides access to the items in the Start Menu and on the Task Bar, along with some other often-used tasks.

You can even use Dock Exposé in Snow Leopard to show just the windows associated with a particular Windows application. Windows application icons in the Dock will show a list of open windows when clicked, just like OS X applications in the Dock. Users will be able to switch between windows of a Windows application using Command-`, as they can in OS X. After providing the code, the Mac will find the physical Windows PC, and set up an identical virtual machine-all without any user intervention.įusion Unity mode-whereby the Windows desktop is hidden and Windows applications and windows appear alongside those of OS X-has also been improved over its predecessor. Users then move to the Mac and run the migration assistant, which will ask for the four-digit code. A small program on the physical PC is first run, which generates a four-digit code. Users of physical Windows machines looking to move to Fusion 3 on the Mac will find the task has been greatly simplified.
