VMware adds Apple OS X Mavericks and Windows 8.1 support to version 6 of the Fusion virtual desktop software and launches Workstation 10, the latest version of the enterprise staple.
The latest Fusion has two versions-- Fusion 6 and Fusion 6 Professional. Both support up to 16 virtual CPUs, 65GB RAM and 8TB storage, with an improved UI and a feature allowing Windows installation without need for a DVD.
Meanwhile Fusion 6 Professional allows the creation of restricted and expired virtual machines. It also features a single VM mode, network editor and includes VMware Player 6 Plus commercial license keys.
Oddly enough Workstation 10 includes tablet sensor support-- offering, as VMware puts it, “the industry's first virtual accelerometer, gyroscope, compass and ambient light sensor to enable applications running in a virtual machine to respond when a user interacts with their tablet.” It also “lets users build a cloud on their PCs running popular applications from Pivotal, Puppet Labs and Vagrant."
