VMware Fusionis a softwarehypervisordeveloped byVMwareformacOSsystems. It allowsMacswithIntelor theApple M seriesof chips to runvirtual machineswith guestoperating systems,such asMicrosoft Windows,Linux,or macOS, within the host macOS operating system.
Overview
[edit]VMware Fusion can virtualize a multitude of operating systems,[3]including many older versions ofmacOS,which allows users to run older Macsoftwarethat can no longer be run under the current version of macOS, such as32-bit[4]andPowerPCapplications.[5]
History
[edit]VMware Fusion, which uses a combination ofparavirtualizationandhardware virtualizationmade possible by theMac transition to Intel processorsin 2006, marked VMware's first entry into Macintosh-basedx86virtualization.[6]VMware Fusion usesIntel VTpresent in theIntel Core microarchitectureplatform.[7]Much of the underlying technology in VMware Fusion is inherited from other VMware products, such asVMware Workstation,allowing VMware Fusion to offer features such as64-bitandSMPsupport.[8]VMware Fusion 1.0 was released on August 6, 2007, exactly one year after being announced.[9]
Along with theMac transition to Apple siliconin 2020, VMware announced plans for Fusion to support the new M-series platform and ARM architecture, releasing a tech preview forM1chips in September 2021.[10]In November 2022, VMware Fusion 13 was released, allowing ARM virtualization on Apple Silicon chips. Coinciding with the release, VMware implemented support forTPM2.0 andOpenGL4.3, along with improvements toVMware ToolsonWindows 11.[11]VMware Fusion 13 retains support for Intel Macs, distributing the software as auniversal binary.[12]
On May 13, 2024, it was announced that VMware Fusion Pro would become free for personal use. Previously VMware Fusion (not Pro) was free for personal use; this edition would be discontinued, effectively replaced by the Pro edition. At the same time, commercial use would switch to annual subscription, removing the option to buy a one-off perpetual license.[13]
