VMware updates Fusion 4.1

Tech World reveals.

The features documented in the Fusion 4.1 release notes include support for full-screen mode on Lion (including a 'Smart Full Screen' mode that does not leave users of multiple display Macs out in the cold), performance and graphics improvements, and support for Lion features such as FileVault 2 and Lion Recovery.

According to IT Pro Portal, Fusion 4.1 features a "confirmation screen" to "verify that the operating system is licensed to run in a virtual machine".

In a blog post, the company says this confirmation screen is supposedly the new feature in Fusion 4.1, but definitely the capability to install the client versions of Snow Leopard is not.

Previously, Apple would only allow the installation of Snow Leopard Server and Leopard Server within virtual machines, until this Lion and Lion Server joined the list, Geeky Gadgets notes.

VMware is taking a new stance on its Fusion 4.1 software and is allowing other OS X versions as well.
