Vmware heeft versie 2.0.1 build 128865 van zijn virtualisatieprogramma Fusion uitgebracht. Met deze applicatie kunnen er via virtuele machines diverse besturingssystemen op de hostcomputer draaien. Daardoor kunnen bijvoorbeeld Windows-programma's binnen Mac OS X uitgevoerd worden die zich via de Unity-functie als normale programma's gedragen. Daarnaast worden natuurlijk ook andere x86-besturingssystemen ondersteund zoals verschillende Linux-distributies en Solaris. De vrijgegeven lijst met vernieuwingen voor versie 2.0.1 build 128865 ziet er als volgt uit:
