VMware Fusion 5 is now broken up into two different editions to make Fusion more affordable for those just needing the most essential of desktop virtualization features. I did however test the many new features and I am glad to share them with you. It would have been unclear as to whether my additional hardware was responsible or the new Fusion upgrade.

I’ve been using the numerous new features of VMware Fusion 5 on my new MacBook Pro with Retina display. I had been using both VMware Tech Previews for some time and was about to write an article about them when, much to my surprise, VMware Fusion 5 was released (replacing Fusion Tech Preview 2012).

Comparable products to Fusion are Parallels Desktop (also Mac) and, on the Windows side, VMware Workstation.
