Your existing VMware Fusion serial numbers will work just fine with the 2.0 beta (and with 2.0 final).

You can actually change the size of the toolbar by Control-clicking or right-clicking on it and changing the icon size or getting rid of the text.

I like to run my toolbar with small icons, no text, and I get rid of the status bar from the View menu.

@Quix: Click that little bubble looking thingy in the upper righthand corner of your VMware Fusion window. See how it shrinks down the tool bar? Is that what you wanted to achieve?

@ Ben G.

Yeah, I have mine set to small icons and no text. There's still an awful lot of empty gray up there. Though I suppose that's not VMware's fault - just no icons to fill all that OS X-mandated window header space.

A snazzy snapshot manager is way, way high on the list of things we want to see in Fusion. Can't make any promises, but you're not the only one asking for this one, so definitely stay tuned.

@joeles -- You're in luck! There's a competitive upgrade price ($30 off) for Parallels users who want to switch to VMware Fusion.

@Ben G.: that's US and Canada only (don't ask why) so it's not completely sure that joeles is in luck. I, for one, am not.

Oh, and Ben G. - you don't happen to be the Ben G. who is the the lead developer of VMware Fusion for Mac, do you? In that case it's especially embarrassing that you a) don't know the rules of your own company's rebate, and b) comment spam on weblogs.

@mentalsticks

He's providing relevant information, and posting multiple replies without links in them. You're a tool, stop hurting the internet by posting this kind of drivel. He can't help the policies set forth by different departments within his company, and he's doing what he can to answer questions. Next time you want to try to make someone look like an ass, at least do it to someone who deserves it rather than to someone who is genuinely helping.

@mentalsticks -- As Chris mentioned, I'm doing my best to help out. I actually didn't know that the rebate was only applicable to North America, and I apologize for anything resembling comment spamming! That wasn't my intention at all.
