automatic mapping of the Mac OS printers in the guest OS
virtual machine library
support for multiple snapshots (manual or scheduled through the new AutoProtect)
support for multiple displays
integrated VMware Importer (V2V migration for Parallels Desktop and Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac OS VMs)
experimental support for 4-way virtual CPUs
experimental Unity support for Linux guest OS
experimental support for Mac OS X Server as guest OSb
bundle with McAfee VirusScan Plus (12-months free subscription)
