Next Fusion 2.0 beta to support Leopard Server
VMware has announced that the next beta version of Fusion 2.0, its Mac virtualization software, will officially introduce support for virtualizing Mac OS X Leopard Server. The company has been working on the project since January, following modifications to Apple licensing which allowed Leopard Server to be run in a virtual machine on a Mac. For end users, this should mainly permit running multiple servers for different networking tasks.
Alternately users can run combinations of Leopard, Windows and/or Linux server software, or again run multiple copies of Leopard, but with the purpose of testing different saved configurations. Each virtual machine supports dual-core processing and up to 8GB of RAM; VMware has yet to announce, however, when Fusion 2.0 Beta 2 will be released.
