• It's Thanksgiving Day in the United States. We're thankful for Apple's commitment to accessibility in their products. # 2008/11/27

Apple has five new Apple Stores opening this weekend. They include locations in the Irish city Belfast, as well as US openings in Lancaster, Pa., Colorado Springs, Co., Escondido, Ca., and San Mateo, Ca.

Apple Stores are a great place to check out Macs and other Apple products first hand. You can activate VoiceOver on any displayed Mac with Command-F5.

Today, VMWare released version 2.0 of VMWare Fusion, its award winning desktop virtualization software for Macintosh. Fusion allows users to run Windows side-by-side with Mac OS X. The new version includes over one-hundred new features, including enhancements to stability and performance.

Despite the accessibility issues in early beta versions, which we reported on earlier, VMWare has delivered a fantastic product once again with full support for VoiceOver on the Mac. Indeed, the accessibility support in VMWare Fusion 2.0 is at least as good as in previous version, and it’s a free upgrade for all existing VMWare Fusion 1.X users.

The VMWare developers have done a great job of supporting accessibility in their product. We commend them on their efforts once again, and congratulate them for being the most accessible virtualization solution on the Macintosh platform.

VMWare Fusion is available in our Mac-cessibility Shop. To read more about the new features in VMWare Fusion 2.0 click here.
