Vmware Workstation 6.5 with unity in GNU/Linux

Finally, Vmware has included unity to Vmware workstation for Linux, for now it is only available in the upcoming 6.5 version Public beta. I decided to download it and give it a try since I use vmware a lot I and would love that integration that I have with vmware fusion and parallels in my mac.
Honestly, when I installed vmware I was a little sceptic (brit. for skeptic) about how it will run on Compiz Fusion. Once I installed I was amazed by how well it run, although, my skeptisism was not unfounded since the refresh of the windows still is a little arghhh :D. But the windows have all the effects and gnome recognizes them as windows, as we can appreciate in the screenshot below. Anyway, big ups for Vmware, they are finally pushing a little of that nice look and feel that they have in the mac to the Linux world.
Even though we are geeks we still like our desktop to look nice. :D ( mmm thats why I use osx as my desktop ? nahh I love my Compiz Fusion effects no OS has that yet.)
