Where are the Mac 'system requirements' for Fusion 3.0 shown?

[sr77]

I would like to know what the Mac system requirements (especially, the required OS X versions) for running Fusion 3.0 are. They are not displayed on the download page or anywhere else that I've been at vmware.com.

Would appreciate information on where these can be found (and what the minimum OS X version required is).

Thanks!

Thanks for those replies. To be honest, I think the fact that v.3 is off-limits to Tiger users (there are still plenty of us around!) should be made clear without having to dig down into Release Notes or Resources pages.

Certainly, it should appear on any 'download' page -- but it doesn't.

I won't disagree however I think long before one gets to a download link one should have done the due diligence by looking at the sites product information pages and if you go to vmware.com and select Products > VMware Fusion under Mac Products you're at the main pages for this product and if you then click on the Resources tab directly under Before You Buy is a System Requirements link, which is the one I provided.

This goes for any product I'm going to download whether I already own it or trying to acquire it for the first time and to me this is a logical, practical, sensible and reasonable thing to do before ever getting to the point I'm going to download something.

Personally, I've never had this happen before. When a new version of a program is released that has OS requirements that are different from the previous release, it's common for "requires OS X 10.5 or higher," etc. to be included, especially on a download page.
