Welcome to the new blog for the VMware Fusion team here at VMware. We'll be covering all sorts of topics on the blog, from the product itself, Mac virtualization as a larger space, "Fusion in the news," and more. Pretty much anything we want to have an open conversation about, we'll try to get up here to spur it on.
Up to this point, we've been using the main VMware VMTN blog as our "home away from home" and had some success with some fairly well-received posts like "Top Ten Things You Can Do with VMware Fusion on Your Mac " (front page of Digg! W00t!) and others. But it's time for us to move out on our own. We'll still show up there from time to time, but our goal is to have a place on the web that is "all Fusion, all the time." And this blog will aim to be that.
We'll see what sort of cast of characters we get up on here. We'll definitely see our fair share of Pete Kazanjy, as the product marketing lead (hi!), my boss, Pat Lee, our product management lead, and Group Manager of Consumer Products at VMware. But ideally we'll be getting some of our rock star engineers up here too. You may have met Ben Gertzfield already, either through his blog, or other places on the web, like this killer tech talk he gave at Google on "Inside VMware Fusion ." Or Regis Duchesne , another one of our coding machines.
Of course, there's a whole slew of others here "behind the curtain" and hopefully I'll be able to get them out here to have a chat and talk some about what we're doing.
As always, feedback is gladly appreciated. Feel free to note in the comments things you'd like to see us cover!

Thank you for creating a FUSION blog. No doubt everyone has a favorite reason to run some other OS on their MAC. My interest is old IBM-PC games. I began by playing text based games at the c:\ prompt such as the Hitchikers Guide, and Leather Goddesses of Phobos, etc. I loved the old Sierra series such as Hero's Quest, Space Quest and other titles such as Rex Nebular, Monkey Island and others. Some of the cleverest games were released for DOS such as the Gobliins stuff. I have scoured the web looking for solutions to get the audio running in my DOS 6.22 virtual machine, but I constantly run into page fault errors when running the DOS extenders. Is there any hope to have this problem fixed? I can provide all the specifics if this problem is considered important enough to be addressed by others. I am worried that no one else really cares about the old games. Please don't make me fire up the old PCs I have sitting in the basement. I had hoped to get away from all that and do it all in a virtual machine. - Thanks. Rob
