What is VMware Fusion?

VMware Fusion is virtualization software that allows Mac users to run Windows and multiple other operating systems side by side with Mac application, without formatting.

If you have a Mac operating system and want to run Windows, Linux or other operating-system simultaneously than VMware Fusion lets you do work at the same time without rebooting your software.

Fusion is simple enough for home users and for IT professionals, developers and business remains the best choice for virtualization on Mac.

Updated Features of VMware Fusion 11: Review

VMware Fusion lets us choose hundreds of operating systems, from lesser-known Linux to the latest Windows 10, to run together with the latest macOS release. With the latest update, Fusion now has added support for the striking Dark Mode and Sidecar feature.

When Dark Mode is enabled in our Mac, Fusion revamps into a darker and more nighttime-friendly version of itself. While with Sidecar you can drive Windows from your iPad in full screen just as if it were a second display, including support for the keyboard, Apple Pencil.

There is good news for those who wish to play 3D games in a virtual machine. VMware Fusion 11 supports 3D hardware-accelerated graphics that allow users to play games that require DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 3.3 in a virtual environment.

So that you can run Windows app just like Mac, there is a Unity view mode in Fusion which hides the Window desktop. You can launch Window app directly from Dock, Spotlight or Launchpad. Once the app is launched you can watch in Expose, Spaces and Mission Control just as if they were Mac apps.
