fusionlogo1.jpgA quickie down the proverbial software pipe: VMWare updated its Fusion virtualization software — which lets you run Windows and Linux on top of OS X — to 1.1.2, and for a point update, it’s got some tasty treats:

VMware Fusion 1.1.2 now provides better support for the MacBook Air, enables Time Machine backup of virtual machines, adds support for Windows XP SP3 Boot Camp partitions, and is now available in Simplified Chinese.

It also has a ton of bug fixes — properly disconnecting USB drives, a fix for the Aluminum Keyboard, a fix for an audio problem, and more.

The Time Machine thing is great, but VMWare does note that each time Time Machine runs, it will make another copy of your virtual machine file — which can add up to a lot of used hard disk space. So, you know, keep an eye on that.

Fusion 1.1.2 is a free update and is available from VMWare’s site.
