OT: VMware special and running OS X 10.5/6 under Fusion

[John Brozycki]

For anyone interested in VMware Fusion for Mac or VMware Workstation for Windows, VMware is going to offer 30% off next Monday ($34.99 USD for Fusion):

It also appears that with the latest update VMware has removed the check in Fusion to see if pre-Lion OS X versions are server versions, meaning you should be able to install Leopard and Snow Leopard under VMware Fusion.  Haven't tried this yet and not sure that Apple is going to like it, but it would be great for testing against older versions of OS X on one machine without having to boot off an alternate boot device.
