VMware has released VMware Fusion Beta 1. Features include:

1. When it launches, VMware Fusion 2.0 will be a free upgrade to all VMware Fusion 1.x users. This is as a sincere thank you to our early supporters who have partnered with us to make this product so great.

2. VMware Fusion 2.0 Beta 1 offers first “true” multi-display support for virtual machines—your virtual machines will see as many individual Mac displays as you attach to your Mac (you have to see the demo video to believe it)

3. Next gen 3D acceleration: We up the ante with experimental support for DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 2.

4. Dead Simple Switching to VMware Fusion: Integrated importation of Parallels Desktop and Virtual PC for Mac virtual machines. *And* integrated Boot Camp conversion, letting you take your Boot Camp from “physical to virtual” with a couple clicks.

5. Dozens of usability and general improvements: Easy virtual machine printing, totally re-designed Settings Editor, easier Shared Folders, and the list goes on and on.
