I found an intresting story on the ChipX86 blog about Unity support in the upcoming new version of Workstation, but will this version also support ESX 3.5 with a running VM? Earlier this year, VMware released VMware Fusion 1.0 for the Macintosh. This was their first virtualization product for the Mac and it has been met with high praise. And jealousy. VMware Fusion managed to change how users thought about virtualization. Thanks to Unity, you were no longer forced into having a big box on your screen. With the click of a button, the applications inside your virtual machine would appear outside of the box, sitting alongside your other applications. The Mac users loved this and Windows and Linux users were left feeling like they missed out. Workstation 6.5 will include support for Unity, allowing your Windows and Linux programs to intermingle with the click of a button. VMware just released initial support in their Friends and Family beta for this. Their public beta 1 will include this feature in a vastly improved form.
