The new version also has a 64-bit engine and support for Snow Leopard's 64-bit kernel, which should improve its performance.
VMware has also improved Fusion's "Unity" interface, which integrates the Windows environment with the Mac desktop.
Unity already makes it possible to view each Windows window as a separate Mac window, rather than having all Windows processes contained within a single Mac window, and to minimize running applications to the OS X Dock.
The new version will make Windows applications behave even more as if they're native Mac apps, for example making them work with Exposé.
Fusion 3 will also support both the OpenGL 2.1 and the Windows-specific DirectX 9.0c APIs. VMware claims that this support will let users play 3D Windows games and run 3D applications.
The company is already taking preorders for Fusion 3 at the VMware site. The price is US$80, with upgrades from previous versions available for $40. Customers can also buy Fusion 2 at full price now and get a free upgrade to version 3 when it ships.
