VMware Workstation 6.5.1 has just been released

Duncan Epping · Nov 21, 2008 ·

VMware Workstation 6.5.1 has just been released, so start your engines and download:

With this release of VMware Workstation, the following new features and support have been added:

  • Japanese localization — A localized version of Workstation is now available in Japanese for Windows hosts.
    Note: Technical Support services for Workstation are currently delivered in English. Japanese-speaking support engineers are available in a limited capacity during the operating hours of the local support center. For more information, see VMware local language support.
  • Smart card support for Linux guests — Smart cards are now experimentally supported with Linux guests.
  • Unity mode on Linux guests — Although support for Unity mode on Linux guests is still experimental, repainting of application windows is much improved.
  • 3-D graphics — Additional improvements have been made to improve 3-D performance on Windows XP guests.

I will be testing Unity Mode on Ubuntu tonight, so expect a couple screenshots to appear! The full release notes can be found here.

    Any word on if 6.5.1 will allow us ESX 4 beta testers the ability to fully play happy with this release? A lot lighter to carry around then a pair of R300s 🙂

    Nice design by the way, keep up the good work Duncan.

    The unity mode is cool. I love this feature.

    Duncan, is ESX 4 already in Beta?
