Here's a pricing wrinkle that hopefully VMware's marketing department has thought about already. If they haven't, this posting will be a heads-up for them.
I have a license to Fusion version 2, which I can upgrade to version 3 on Oct. 27th for $39.99.
As a student at my university here in New Zealand, the alternative is to buy Fusion version 2 for $39.99 before Nov. 1st and get a free upgrade to version 3.
So here's the question: will existing users of version 2 be able to upgrade to version 3 for less than $39.99 if they are university students?
If the answer is "No", then I might as well buy a second license to version 2 for $39.99 and upgrade it for fee. The additional benefit is that I will then have a license for the next Intel Mac I buy.
Unfortunately, to buy another Mac at New Zealand prices, I would have to win the NZ lottery.
