Various sources (this notice on virtualization.info and this notice on MacNN) alerted me this morning to the announcement by VMware of a Mac OS X-based version of VMware Workstation, intended to run on any Intel-based Mac system.
I can’t tell you how long I’ve been waiting for this (like so many others). I first pined for virtualization on Apple back in February of this year, and I’m thrilled that VMware is now stepping up to the plate to provide a Mac OS X-based version of VMware Workstation. Here’s hoping they also release Mac OS X-based versions of their remote consoles as well, so that I can manage virtual machines hosted on VMware Server or ESX Server from my Mac as well.

Any news on a Mac OS X-based versions of VMWare remote consoles? Very interested.

Sadly, no, not yet. I’m hoping that once VMware Fusion is released a Mac OS X remote console client won’t be too far behind, but that’s pure speculation.

I’d love an OS X remote console client too….

Mark,
Still no movement on that front, as far as I am aware. I have been alerted, though, to a potential solution to this problem (and not a solution like “Run a Windows VM on Fusion”); as soon as more information is available, I’ll be sure to post it here.
