VMware Fusion 2 released, Features Unlimited Snapshots

VMware Fusion, which allows Intel Macs to run Windows in a, well, Window alongside OS X, has been upgraded to version 2. This is a free upgrade to users of Fusion 1.x (woot!), and you will not have to reinstall your virtual machine after the upgrade. The 248MB download is available now.

The release notes detail several major improvements, the first of which is the ability to take an unlimited amount of “Snapshots” of your virtual machine (formerly, you could only have one). The Snapshot feature allows you to save the machine’s settings in a particular state, and return it to that exact state (useful in testing software). Fusion 2 can now also be set up to take Snapshots at regular intervals.
