VMWare offering 50% off Fusion 2.0 for Cyber Monday

Parallels rival VMWare is holding a one-day sale on its Fusion 2.0 virtualization product for the Mac, which cuts the price in half to $39.99. However, Parallels users are being enticed to switch through an additional offer that brings the cost of Fusion 2.0 down to just $10.

Online retailer Amazon.com is among the resellers participating in VMWare's Cyber Monday offer and is currently selling Fusion 2.0 for $39.99 — 50 percent off its suggested retail price of $79.99. MacMall is also listed among those resellers who plan to offer the 1-day discount, but had not updated pricing on its website as of press time.

Meanwhile, VMWare is courting users of rival software Parallels Desktop to switch platforms through an additional $30 rebate that knocks the cost of Fusion 2.0 down to just $10. To cash in on this deal, you can purchase Fusion 2.0 from VMWare's website using coupon code "CyberMondayDeal" and then submit your $30 rebate request on line. You must have proof of ownership of Parallels software to claim the rebate.

Both offers are valid through 11:59 PM Pacific Time this evening.

For $10, you can't go wrong if you are curious. For $40 and not own either of them, you still can't go wrong. Very nice deal.

The terms on the rebate state:

This rebate is not valid with any other VMware sponsored offers

So you either get the 50%, or the $30 rebate. I went for the 50%...
