VMware Fusion 10.1.0; VMware Fusion 10.0.1; VMware Fusion 10.0; Security. This update of VMware Fusion exposes hardware support for branch target injection mitigation to VMware guests. This hardware is used by some guest operating systems to mitigate CVE-2018-5715 (also called by the name 'Spectre').
Software Overview
Main Features
- Runs Windows applications in three different views in OS X
- Supports up to 16 vCPUs and 64GB of memory on a single virtual machine
- Allows easy upgrade to Windows 10 and OS X El Capitan
- Updated graphics engine and support for iMac Retina 5K displays
- Enables creation of snapshots to revert back to a saved state at any time
VMware Fusion is an application that allows you to run multiple operating systems on your Mac. VMware also develops Fusion Pro, which is similar to Fusion but is geared more towards business users.
Fusion is commonly used to run Windows in OS X. You can run Windows in three different views:
- Full Screen view - uses the full screen to display the Windows environment.
- Single Window view - keeps your Windows applications in a separate window that contains the Windows environment.
- Unity view - Fully integrates your Windows applications with your OS X environment, so you don't need to interact with the Windows desktop.
The application includes a 64-bit engine and provides multicore processing power that allow you to seamlessly and quickly run your Windows and OS X applications. Fusion supports up to 16 virtual CPUs (vCPUs), 8TB virtual disks, and 64GB of memory for each virtual machine. This enables you to effectively run high-powered applications such as AutoCAD or Maya. The program also offers snapshot capability, which allows you to revert your virtual machine to a previous state at any time.
VMware Fusion is a high-end virtualization program that enables you to run Windows and OS X applications side-by-side without sacrificing performance. It is a great choice for running Windows programs in OS X.

Today Apple has made available their newest addition to the Mac lineup: the iMac Pro, and we couldn't be more excited about the prospects of such a powerful Mac, particularly as the most capable Mac based virtual machine host ever, running VMware Fusion.
Early reviewers have touted the 'Blazing Fast' performance that this hardware offers, with both CPU and on GPU, but the new machine isn't exactly for everyone.
With the iMac Pro, Apple returns to it's roots with an offering aimed at professionals and power users.
Recently Apple held a media event attended by press, industry analysts and others, to showcase some of the capabilities of such a powerful machine and what it might be used for.
During this event it was reported that Apple demoed VMware Fusion as a professional app that can make full use of this new hardware performance. More than just running Windows on the Mac, Apple showed an end-to-end development and testing pipeline built using virtual machines running on a single machine.
Obviously use cases for Video/Audio editing, 3D/CAD design were discussed, but to quote this Macworld article:By Roman Loyola
'Most impressive was a demo of Apple's Xcode, which ran several UI tests and VMware Fusion virtual machines at the same time without the iMac Pro breaking a sweat.'
Does not break sweats, can run clouds inside it
From a single iMac Pro using VMware Fusion you could rapidly architect an entire development pipeline complete with SCM, an automated build system, automated UI testing, development and staging environments, topped off with a series of different ‘desktop' VM's to test the application with.

Leveraging pre-built packages like those from Bitnami, users can quickly grab all the building blocks for this kind of modern 'DevOps' environment. (quotes because I get that DevOps is a buzzword referring to Agile development tools with a goal of continuous iteration and or delivery and an accompanying cultural movement… ).
A user could for example tie together a GitLab VM for SCM; Jenkins, GitLab or Gradle for build and pipeline; some stack for the Dev and Stage environments (LAMP, Node.js, Tomcat, etc…); Redmine, Trac or Mantis for Bug Tracking; JFrog for your artifact/binary repository and then ReviewBoard for team code collaboration.
For folks on the more traditional IT Pro or datacenter admin, this machine is powerful enough to run the complete VMware solution lab from a single desktop. You could easily run the vCenter Server Appliance, several ESXi hosts, vSAN, vRealize suite, and more, all thanks to the common underlying VMware platform and the incredible resources from these new machines.
The possibilities are endless thanks to the amazing abstraction that VMware virtualization provides, and the sheer power that this new Apple hardware delivers, and we can't wait to fill our office with them.
