Does Fusion 2.0 have a built-in converter to upload to an ESX/i server like Workstation 6.5 does?

I can't find this in the documentation, but I'm hopig there's a component of Fusion similar to the standalone converter and WS6.5 that allows conversion of a Fusion VM and upload to an ESX server. I currently do this on Linux, and it works pretty well.

No, Fusion does not currently have the option to create an ESX-compatible virtual machine. You could run the standalone Converter in the virtual machine or go through Workstation.

Disappointing. Hopefully VMWare starts to further their development with OSX, including this and the VI3 client. I hate to have to fall back to XP for that kind of thing.

2nd that.

bump Third this. I'm starting to use ESX around work, and would really like an easy way to publish VM's to the ESX server.

Currently using Parallels, and without the publish feature, there's just no compelling reason to switch to Fusion.

Also, Infrastructure client.
