VMware Fusion overview

VMware Fusion - virtualization software for running Windows, Linux, and other systems on a Mac without rebooting. The latest version includes full support for Windows 10, macOS Mojave, and the latest Macs, including the 18-core iMac Pro and MacBook Pro with 6-core Intel i9 CPU.. VMware Fusion support DirectX 10.1 and Enhanced Metal Graphics Rendering Engine. The virtual machine platform also delivers full 64-bit support with up to 16 vCPUs, up to 3072 MB graphics memory, 64GB RAM, and an 8TB hard drive for a single virtual machine.

What’s new in version 13.5.1

Resolved Issues
  • ThinPrint warnings appear when powering on a virtual machine. When you power on a virtual machine, ThinPrint-related warnings might appear due to a missing option to remove serial ports.
  • MTL renderer crashes when using unsupported GPUs. If you attempt to use Fusion on unsupported graphics hardware, the MTL renderer might crash.
  • ESD file generation on ARM-based systems fails when system language is French. Windows 11 ARM easy download, ESD file generation is failing when the system language is set to French.

What an absolute cluster !@#$ the transition to Broadcom has been. Moved over my account, all my product entitlements missing, can't even download updates. Endless loop between VMWare site and Broadcom site. VMWare login no longer works redirects Broadcom support portal. Try to access anything related VMWare products, sends you back to VMWare site. Submitted support issue two weeks ago, not heard back. Can't even download full installers for Workstation or Fusion, not even trials, unless it is part of your "entitlements". Been using Fusion since version 2.0, time to switch to Parallels. Sad thing is, Windows ARM running on Fusion 13.5 actually is quite good. I can run Office Intel x86 in Windows ARM using its built in x86 emulation, Virtualized Windows ARM, on a Mac Studio M2 Max. And it runs as fast as native Office on a intel i9 desktop PC.

Sad times for VMware. My IMHO suggestion: Look elsewhere for emulation/virtualization. -> From Ars Technica 2023-12-01: "Broadcom cuts at least 2,800 VMware jobs following $69 billion acquisition". . . . "The WARN notices list the reason for the layoffs as "economic," but provide no further explanation or justification.... Despite the layoffs, VMware will remain central to Broadcom's enterprise software strategy. The company's Broadcom Software Group will be renamed VMware, and the company is reportedly planning to emphasize software subscriptions rather than one-time sales to boost revenue." - - Is it a football? Or is it software? :-(
