From MacNews:

One thing that was revealed is that you could run earlier versions of Mac OS X as a client under 4.1 (this was not previously possible with version 4.0.1). Given the licensing, we were incredibly surprised (although delighted) to see this. Unfortunately, while incredibly useful for developers wanting to test on multiple versions, this turns out to be an oversight.

VMware has just updated VMware Fusion 4.1 with added support for installing Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard client in addition to OS X Lion as noted by many including The Mac Observer.

This is certainly a good news for many Mac users, especially the ones who really need Snow Leopard and Rosetta support. Now you can have iCloud and Rosetta support in one Mac.

Buy VMware Fusion from Amazon.com.

There are numerous versions of Microsoft Office 2011:

• Microsoft Office for Mac Home and Business 2011
• Microsoft Office for Mac Home and Student 2011
• Microsoft Office for Mac Academic 2011

Note: The screenshot was taken after Office 2011 was already installed on the system. The second time the installer runs, it says “Upgrade” on the install.

Core applications included in Microsoft Office 2011:

• Microsoft Word
• Microsoft Excel
• Microsoft PowerPoint
• Microsoft Outlook (not available in Microsoft Office for Mac Home and Student 2011)

Other applications:

• Microsoft Messenger
• Microsoft Communicator

Thanks to the SSD on the MacBook Pro, any Office 2011 applications launched almost instantly. So at this time I can’t really comment much about it. In a week time I’ll find out more.
