   VMware Fusion 10.0.1

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Skipping over version 9 (from its previous version 8, originally
   released in 2015), VMware has released version 10 of its [1]VMware
   Fusion virtualization package in both standard and Pro editions. Built
   for macOS 10.13 High Sierra and Microsoft Windows 10 (including the
   Fall 2017 Creators Update), both editions receive an updated graphical
   user interface, improved New VM and Migrate Your PC Wizards, and an
   enhanced Metal graphics engine with up to 65 percent better
   performance.

   Designed for IT professional and developers, VMware Fusion 10 Pro now
   includes a secure RESTful API service designed for automation and
   third-party software integration, adds support for Microsoft's new
   Virtualization Based Security features, and improves integration with
   VMware's vSphere platform with stability and performance enhancements
   to take advantage of newer Intel Kaby Lake and AMD Ryzen CPU features.

   Shortly after the [2]announced release of version 10, VMware issued
   version 10.0.1 to fix a number of bugs and resolve an issue with users
   running a non-English version of macOS who experienced a failure when
   powering on virtual machines with 3D acceleration enabled. Both
   editions of VMware Fusion 10 can run on all Macs launched in 2011 or
   later (except the 2012 Mac Pro with the Intel Xeon W3565 processor), as
   well as 2010 Mac Pro releases; 10.11 El Capitan is now the minimum OS
   requirement.

   VMware Fusion 10 is priced at $79 for the standard edition and $159 for
   Fusion Pro (a $40 decrease from the previous release). Those with
   Fusion 7, 8, or 8.5 licenses can upgrade for $49 (standard) or $119
   (Pro). Purchases of version 8.5 made on or after 22 August 2017 are
   eligible for a free upgrade. You can download a free trial from this
   [3]VMware store page. ($79.99/$159.99 new, $49/$119 upgrade, free
   update from version 10, 470 MB, [4]release notes, 10.11+)
