If you’re running Fusion 5 or 6 now, it’ll cost you $80 to upgrade (unless you purchased version 6 after August 1 of this year, in which case the upgrade is free). VMware Fusion 7 and VMware Fusion 7 Pro are available today for $70 and $150 respectively. It can also connect to the company’s vSphere servers, which run virtualized operating systems remotely. Meanwhile, the Pro version of Fusion 7 can run a greater range of operating systems (more than 200, says VMware) and supports iSight cameras in virtual machines. With Fusion Player and Fusion Pro, run nearly any OS as VMs on Mac for development, testing, gaming or even simulating production clouds on local desktops. At the same time, the software is supposedly more energy efficient, and it wakes up faster from an idle state. IT professionals, developers and businesses choose VMware Fusion desktop hypervisors for unmatched OS support, rock-solid stability and advanced features. (The company also says the software will be ready for Intel’s next generation Broadwell chips, when those hit the Mac.) VMware says the new version is 11 percent faster in multimedia tests overall, with even better performance in some specific tasks (such as video encoding). The new Fusion also boasts improved compatibility with some hardware features found in the latest Macs, including the ability to tap into up to 2GB of video memory and optimization for the latest Haswell chips from Intel.
