Upgrade to VMWare Fusion 3 for Ten Bucks

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Actually, I’ve been pretty happy with version 2, an haven’t really wanted to spend the money, or time, upgrading, but if they’re going to offer the upgrade for $9.99 for a limited time, I might have to take them up on that.

I don’t fire up my Windows VM on the Macbook very often. I’ve kind of migrated away from using it aside from testing out Lit Support tools that I have personal licenses for through my certifications. I’ve gotten pretty comfortable with just using the Macbook and software I’ve found for it, but every once in awhile I need Outlook, or some Windows freeware tool that I haven’t yet found a Mac replacement for. Who knows, maybe the new version of Fusion will inspire me to experiment more with virtual machines?

They are offering the upgrade price for users of Parallels as well. Not a bad little ploy on their part!

    As I’ve said before, a ban will keep people from using cell phones while driving, it will not make driving safer. Eliminating a symptom of bad driving will not make good drivers. But, I’m pretty sure it will happen, because it allows politicians to say they have “done something”. Follow these topics: Tech

    I’ve noticed something quite bizarre over the last few days. Something seems to be interfering with the service to my T-Mobile Blackberry when I’m at home.

    BadTrans is out there and looking quite active, at least based on the number of infected emails I’ve seen come bouncing into our network here at work. We did have one person get infected, two days after I posted a warning about it, and instructions on dealing with it, which is quite frustrating. Turns out…
