– Resolved an intermittent problem that caused printing to fail on Mac OS X Lion.

– Resolved an issue that occurred when copying and pasting information from newer Linux distributions.

– Improved compatibility with certain versions of Mac OS X.

– Improved the behavior of the minibar when placed at the top of the display.

– Fixed mapping of comma on numeric keyboard mapping of a French keyboard.

– Resolved an intermittent problem when removing a CD device from a virtual machine.

Fusion 4.1.2 retails for US$49.99 and requires an Intel-based Mac, 2 GB of RAM, Mac OS X 10.6.7 or later (10.7 recommended) and a copy of Windows (if you’ll be installing Windows).
