Apple’s WDDC 2006 – part 2: VMware readies virtualization software for Macs

News.com reports on Virtualization software manufacturer VMware has announced a product designed to enable Mac OS X users to run multiple PC operating systems simultaneously without needing to reboot the computer. [here for the full story on VMware on Mac]

VMware is a long-time well-known software for Windows and Linux users, which has allowed virtualization of almost any OS running on Intel processor.

Right now, Parallels has estabilished a good beachhead with its VM (virtual machine) software running on Intel-based Mac as we reported here and, since Leopard will feature Boot Camp, multiple OS running on Intel Macs will be a really hot topic in the near future.
