VMWare Fusion 1.1 beta hits RC status
I've been testing the 1.1 beta for a while now, and although it's a bit slower than 1.0 (probably due to remaining debug code) it seems to be working very well. If you're moving to Leopard today, 1.1 is what you want --
Thanks to everyone who sent this in.

Sure, it's not like you had scads of free time today, but in case you're hankering for 164 MB of virtualization goodness, be it known that...

VMWARE: Version 1.0 (51348)
I used bridged networking and i got an error
"The network bridge on device /dev/vmnet0 is not running."
this happens after I did a clean install of Leopard and then migrate my backup.
anyone has same issue and knows the solution?
i am looking to try vmware fusion 1.1 to see if that fixes this.
my bridged network stops working (vmware 1.0) after i installed leopard. Anyone has the same issue and know what to do ?

The only reason I'm using Vmware is because of the Dx9 support (however rudimentary it may be). My radar application (GRLevel3) needs directx9 and I'm simply not willing to boot into windows to use it. If Parallels gets on the bandwagon and introduces dx9 support, I'd almost certainly go back.

But every time I try using Fusion for serious work -- I end up going back to Parallels after a week or so. Using Fusion would be easier for me interop-wise, but it just doesn't get the "Mac thing" as well as Parallels. IMHO only of course. Anyone else feel this way (or vice-versa) about the two products?

Any more-better enhancements known w/ the 1.1 beta?
So, I've been running Version 1.0 (51348) under leopard since Wednesday, with 0 problems. That said, friends who were running parallels 3 under leopard got their networking stack broken.
I'll wait until it's out of beta and I get my little VMware "you have a new version available for download" notice from my app before installing.
Vmware > parallels _again_ (I ditched that shit when 10.4.10 upgrade kernel paniced on parallels' craptastic USB stack).
Is it wishful thinking to hope that they've fixed the Logitech Control Center bug?
