Mission Control

VMware have release VMFusion 4, the new release is designed for Lion and has they say over 90 new and improved features. I use version 3 of Fusion on my Macbook to run Windows and it works really well, I even got Media Center working on it.

Fusion 4 is available now for a promotional price of $49.99 instead of $79.99, details from their blog. I am going to upgrade to this version so I will do a review soon.



Key highlights include:

Designed for OS X Lion – Whether you would like to add your favorite Windows programs to Launchpad, experience them in Mission Control, view them in full screen or switch between them using Mac gestures, VMware Fusion 4 is designed to give you the best Windows experience on OS X Lion.

Even More “Mac-like” – VMware Fusion 4 enhances the way you run Windows programs on a Mac. From the brand-new settings menu to the redesigned virtual machine library and snapshot menu, everything has been refined to give users an even more Mac- like experience when running Windows programs.
