The version shipped in the box is slightly older, and I immediately upgraded to the latest version by downloading it from VMWare's site.

But they also have versions for Windows and Mac too. And it's <b>free</b>, gotta dig that. So far it has worked well for me too, I've been using it to run Windows 2000 in a virtual machine (<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/timpatterson/2249712350/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/timpatterson/2249712350/</a>).

Why spend the money until you are sure it meets your needs. You can just download a 30 day eval of VMWare Fusion and see if it works. Why spend the money until you are sure it meets your needs.
