Thank you for sharing this link! It leads to a blog post on VMware's official blog, announcing that Fusion Pro, their virtual machine software, is now available for free for personal use.
VMware Fusion Pro is a powerful tool that allows you to run Windows, Linux, and other operating systems alongside macOS without having to reboot your computer. It's a wonderful solution for developers, IT professionals, or anyone who needs to run applications on multiple operating systems.
As per the blog post, VMware Fusion Pro provides several key features:
1. **Unity View Mode**: This feature integrates Windows applications with your Mac. You can launch, view, and interact with Windows apps as if they were Mac apps.
2. **Snapshots and Clones**: The Snapshot feature lets you preserve the state of the virtual machine so you can return to it at any time. Clones allow you to make a copy of your virtual machine that you can use separately.
3. **Advanced Networking**: You can simulate complex networks, including the ability to run the network of virtual machines on a private network behind a NAT firewall.
4. **Secure Boot and Encryption**: VMware Fusion Pro includes features for enterprise security, such as secure boot, which ensures that only trusted software loads at startup, and encryption to protect your data.
Remember, while Fusion Pro is now free for personal use, commercial use still requires a paid license. If you're using Fusion Pro for non-commercial purposes, this is a fantastic opportunity to access a powerful virtualization tool at no cost.
