VMware Fusion is an absolute joy to work with on my MacBook Pro.
There is a new VMware Fusion update that has better support for the MacBook Air, Time Machine, as well as a number of bug fixes:
According to the release notes:
"VMware Fusion 1.1.2:
- Corrects a problem in which the remapping of keyboard shortcuts in Full Screen or Single Window view could not be disabled. Deselecting Enable Mac OS keyboard shortcuts now works as expected.
- Fixes a problem that could arise when the user attempted to run a virtual machine with the virtual CD drive connected but without a drive connected to the Mac. This problem was most likely to happen on a MacBook Air. The virtual machine no longer fails in this situation.
- Adds support for Windows XP SP3 when importing a Boot Camp partition as a virtual machine.
- Fixes a problem that prevented the user from being able to burn CDs with a USB Superdrive on the MacBook Air.
- Fixes a problem that caused VMware Fusion to fail when the user pressed some newly introduced keys on the new slim Apple keyboard, if the Enable debugging checks preference was set.
- Corrects a problem in which VMware Fusion occasionally would not return a USB device to Mac OS control when a virtual machine was shut down. VMware Fusion now makes sure to disconnect the device from the virtual machine, making it available to the Mac.
- Fixes a compatibility problem with wireless bridging and DHCP/routing behavior that could prevent a virtual machine from getting an IP address in certain cases.
- Corrects a sound problem in which only the default speaker worked in certain cases.
- In some cases, VMware Fusion, after being upgraded to Version 1.1.1, would fail with a Signal 10 error when the user tried to use the keyboard. This problem has been fixed.
- Virtual Machine Communication Interface (VMCI) no longer causes memory corruption. Version 1.1.2 contains a fix for the problem described in security advisory VMSA-2008-0005.html, section i.
- VMware Fusion 1.1.2 and Mac OS X Leopard Time Machine Issue Resolved."
