VMware Fusion Beta 4
Beta Version | 6/7/07 | Build 48339
New feature:

New “Unity” feature: Say goodbye to the Windows desktop – VMware Fusion now lets you run Windows XP applications directly on your Mac desktop, providing full integration with Mac keyboard shortcuts and the Exposé feature in Mac OS X. Use the VMware Fusion Launch Palette to easily access all your Windows applications, and save your favorite Windows applications to the Mac OS X Dock.

Earlier today, Apple and Parallels released Boot Camp 1.3 beta and Parallels Desktop for Mac 3.0 respectively.

Today is a busy day for me to try out all three. I’ll write a follow up in the next coming days.
