VMWare Fusion 2.06 hits the streets
VMWare has pushed out another update to Fusion, the popular virtualization app.Version 2.06 was released yesterday. The 289 MB download includes multiple fixes for running Fusion in a 32-bit Snow Leopard environment. The release includes enhancements for better 3D performance on Macs with Nvidia cards under Snow Leopard.
There are also the usual assortment of other bug fixes.
You can download the update here for free if you're a registered Fusion user. You can get detailed release notes from VMWare at this page. Users who upgrade should note that VMWare Tools does not automatically update when you do the upgrade. You'll have to install the tools from the Fusion menu bar.
When I opened my older version of Fusion this morning I was not alerted to the update, which was a bit of a surprise. Your mileage may vary, so I and am passing the info along to you in case you don't get flagged on it.
Happy downloading.

The 291MB download includes Mcafee antivirus bloatware.
If you don't need or want that, the Fusion "Light" download is only 192MB.
Choose wisely.
This won't install for me. I double click on install vmware fusion, installer opens but no windows pop up. Is this something wrong with my system or with the file? Any suggestions? Thanks.
