PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VMware, Inc., the
virtualization software leader, today announced VMware Fusion 1.1, a new
update to its award-winning VMware Fusion desktop virtualization software
for Intel-based Macs. VMware Fusion allows Mac users to simultaneously and
seamlessly run Mac OS X, Windows and other PC-based applications on the
same Mac. VMware Fusion 1.1 is a free update that is immediately available
for all VMware Fusion 1.0 customers and includes over 25 enhancements and
improvements such as:

- Support for Mac OS X Leopard.

"We have been extremely pleased with the success of VMware Fusion," said

customers have really embraced VMware Fusion for the intuitive user
interface and stable, high-performance experience it delivers. We expect
our customers will be equally thrilled with the improvements found in
