Waltr 2for windows12/8/2023 We actually have a some fun demos of both Microsoft Photosynth (video) and Worldwide Telescope (video) running on VMware Fusion 2 for you to check out, if you’re interested. I successfully tested two such programs, both from Microsoft: Worldwide Telescope and Photosynth.” That means some Windows-only games and other programs that won’t work in Parallels will work in Fusion. When VMware Fusion 1 launched back in August of 2007, we supported DirectX 8.1, upping that to DirectX 9 without Shaders in VMware Fusion 1.1 as of November 2007, and now, VMware Fusion 2 supports DirectX 9 Shader Model 2.Īs he puts it, “VMware Fusion also uses a more modern and capable version of the proprietary 3-D graphics system in Windows, called DirectX. In his current review, Walt focuses on how VMware Fusion 2 makes great strides in further breaking down the walls between Windows and the Mac, for example, with our Keyboard Mapping feature (video demo), and Multiple Display support (video demo).Īs he puts it, VMware Fusion “permits you to completely customize keyboard commands so that the same common key combinations work in both Windows and Mac programs,” and “It allows the faux Windows machine to take full advantage of multiple monitors, if you have them.” Virtual 3D PerformanceģD performance was also something that Walt was happy with, and something in which VMware Fusion 2 has made great strides. While I like Parallels and have used it since it came out, it sometimes slows down my Mac.” Take Two! Walt reviewed our debut a little over a year ago, and back then came to the conclusion that he liked VMware Fusion 1 for its speed, stability, and low impact on his Mac.Īs he put it back then, “In my tests, Fusion never slowed down my MacBook Pro laptop or two other Macs on which I tested it…I found VMware Fusion puts less strain on the computer overall. ![]() ![]() We had a great surprise tonight, when Walt Mossberg, personal technology columnist for the venerable Wall Street Journal posted his review of VMware Fusion 2 with the headline “One Way to Turn a Mac into a PC Just Got Better.” Having pushed VMware Fusion 2 out into the world a little over two weeks ago, we here on Team Fusion have been waiting with bated breath for the reviews to start showing up.
