The Unity stuff is a bit too slow to be really practical, although it's a nice touch (seems to me Parallels Unity equivalent works better, but can't bet on it). And last thing : VMWare Player is NOT the equivalent of VMWare Fusion, it can only PLAY virtual machines you've previously built using VMWare full version. Now I agree you can download VMWare full in 1 month trial version, create your virtual machine then uninstall the full and install the Player, but that's a license trick...
