VMware Fusion 2.0b2 and OS X Server 10.5

I had the opportunity tonight to tinker with VMware Fusion for the Mac. I decided to try Beta 2.0b2 and fire it up on my iMac (Core 2 Duo). I have had the itch to install my copy of OS X 10.5 Server. So thats what I decided to do.

What a way to spend a Saturday night!

Installation was extremely simple. I had allocated 1GB of Ram to my virtual machine along with 50GB of Hard Disk space. Simple enough! Things went smooth. Smoother then any Windows Installation on VMware Fusion I have ever experienced. This is a good thing!

Wishing I owned a MacPro! The Possibilities! (Do more with Less!!)

I would never run OS X 10.5 Server in a production environment with my current configuration. I can see this solution saving a boat load of money for a small business with the need to run multiple servers in one location. You can easily consolidate 3 MacPros into 1 machine. Run 3 virtual OS X Servers on lets say a MacPro with 16GB of memory. That would definitely do the job for a small to medium size business. (In my opinion..)

I still need to do a bit more testing. If this is what we are to expect from VMware. I like it!
