Streamlined VM Setup and Configuration: The wizard for installing, importing, and configuring VMs has been streamlined for Fusion 8, and all options - creating a new VM, importing a VM, migrating a Boot Camp partition, and even accessing VMs on remote servers - are now found in a single menu. There are also no version-specific limits on the hardware that can be assigned to a VM, with all versions of the product able to support up to 16 virtual CPUs, 64GB of RAM, 8TB virtual disks, and the aforementioned 2GB of video memory. Support for New Mac Hardware: Fusion 8 has been updated to support the new Mac hardware and OS X technologies released in the past year, including support for Force Touch on the latest MacBooks, the 5K display on the 27-inch Retina iMac, optimizations for fast PCIe flash storage, and core “under the hood” improvements that will be introduced in El Capitan. To take advantage of these new graphics capabilities, users can also now assign up to 2GB of graphics memory to a virtual machine’s hardware configuration. Improved Graphics Performance: Fusion 8 introduces significantly improved graphics performance as compared to its predecessor, with support for DirectX 10 and OpenGL 3.3. Fusion also supports new El Capitan features such as Split Screen and the ability to search the contents of Windows virtual machines via Spotlight.

Windows 10 features supported in Fusion 8 include (optional) “always on” access to Cortana, full support for the Edge browser in Unity mode, and easy upgrade support for existing Windows VMs.

Here’s an overview of key new features in Fusion 8:įull support for Windows 10 and OS X El Capitan: As expected, Fusion 8 offers complete support for Windows 10 as a guest operating system, and for the upcoming OS X El Capitan as both a host and guest operating system, which will let Mac owners test Apple’s latest OS without having to upgrade their primary OS X installation. Arriving one week after the launch of competitor Parallels Desktop 11, this year’s edition of Fusion is once again available in both standard and “Pro” versions and advertises the addition of over 50 new features, including significantly improved graphics performance.

VMware’s latest version of its OS X virtualization software, Fusion 8, is now available.
