Hi Dave, The major advantage of vmware fusion 2 is faster performance, both for the mac and windows. Fusion 2 uses much less ram and system resources, so you don't notice any sluggishness on the mac side while running windows. Also, if you play windows games like I do, then you'll notice more responsiveness from XP as well. There's also some other goodies in there, such as the ability to send certain key commands to the virtual machine from the menu, but performance is by and large the best reason to update.
