Will this forum content reset or will public beta users be able to see these messages?
I don't know off hand. But we'll probably decide down the line when we actually do the public beta.
Currently we're still running just a Private Beta with an expanded pool of testers.
I just wanted to post this message to some F&F people who were saying that Fusion is buggy in public (read: Mac news/rumor sites), but we havent' had any reports from those people yet. I just want to get those bug reports so that we can actually track them down and fix 'em.
There's definitely a lot of misinformation and guessing going on. Here's a quick summary of the links I found out there:

The negative comment I saw were:
>I am a member of the beta program and though VMWare is promising quite a bit, the current beta is pretty buggy (newer than that illegal posting of it above).
Same poster, same message:
>I run Parallels daily because it's more stable than the current Fusion build but will switch once a couple of more bugs are worked out. The ability to run VMWare machines, especially in the corporate environment, is a huge boon but be prepared for Fusion having a cost 3x that of Parallels.
