VMWare Announces Version for OS X In Development

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the competing-with-parallels-and-bootcamp dept.

pdscomp writes "VMware has just announced at today's Apple WWDC 2006 Conference that they are developing a port of VMware to Mac OS X. People interested in beta testing the product later this year can visit this link to sign up for the public test. It will be interesting to see how things play out between VMware and Parallels. Will Microsoft bother porting Virtual PC now that there will be two other Intel OS X virtualization solutions available? Now all we need is to get Mac OS X running under Xen."

  2. Why not customize Windows for Macs by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Microsoft might be wiser to focus their resources on developing a custom version of Windows just for Macs. Since it would only need to support a limited set of hardware, it could be leaner, faster and more stable.

    And since Mac users would buy it instead of "borrowing" a copy of XP, it'd also mean more money for Microsoft. A win/win for everyone.
