Thanks for the heads up. I was waiting for a point release before thinking about upgrading because I heard about way too many bugs with the initial release. Let's hope this is better.

Still no OpenGL support for OS X Lion and Linux hosts? :/

Thank God for finally implementing proper full-screen though (see pic). Gotta love the forcing power of the internet these days.

Yeah, I needed to get back to you on that. While I initially reported I experienced no stability issues with VMware Fusion 4.0.2, random crashes in Windows 7 started piling up over time. Really hoping they fixed that.

Ah, I see. Thanks, I hope so too. I don't have the time to upgrade just yet but if I am going to do it then I need to do it by year's end because the pricing promo ends at that time.

Also, I already was indirectly accomplishing my own version of "full-screen mode" in Fusion 3 by making the application run in full screen in its own dedicated space. This also allowed me to set up the space on the external monitor to be used by Fusion as well (using the option "use all displays in full screen"), so I had a two-monitor VM. I hope this is still possible with v4.

Hopefully this resolves the issue where it can cause the Dock Process to go into overload bringing my machine to a crawl.
