A few years ago, it looked as though VMWare's Fusion had ceded the market for Mac virtualisation software to its arch-rival, Parallels Desktop. The company stopped trying to match Parallels' regular schedule of updates, and instead focused on its corporate products and services, such as VMware Workstation and vSphere.

But, at the recent VMworld conference, CEO Pat Gelsinger once more emphasized his strategy of 'any device, any application, any cloud', and it would appear that 'any device' still includes the Mac, as the company has just given Fusion its most significant update in recent years.

Pricing & options

Unlike Parallels Desktop, which has long-since adopted a 'software as service' model, and requires an annual subscription of £58.32 (ex. VAT; £69.99 inc. VAT, or $79.99), Fusion can still be bought for a one-time price of £59.13 (ex. Parallels for mac discount code. VAT; £70.96 inc. VAT, or $79.99).

Existing users -- going back to Fusion 8 -- can upgrade to version 11 for £36.63 (ex. VAT; £43.96 inc. VAT, or $49.99). There's also a second version of the program available, called Fusion Pro, that provides additional features for corporate users, which costs £117.46 (ex. VAT; £140.95 inc. VAT, or $159.99).

Features

Many of the new features in Fusion 11 are simply intended to bring it into line with recent developments on both Mac and Windows platforms, including compatibility with the new macOS Mojave as well as the latest 18-core iMac Pro and 6-core MacBook Pro models. You can now create virtual machines (VMs) on your Mac that run the latest 2018 updates for Windows 10 and Windows Server, along with additional operating systems such as Ubuntu 18.04.1, Fedora 28 and Debian 9.5. Recent Mac models that support Apple's Metal graphics API can also run Windows virtual machines with Direct X 10.1 in order to improve graphics quality.

Fusion doesn't have the slick graphical interface of Parallels Desktop, but version 11 includes a redesigned Applications Menu, which sits in the Mac's main Menu Bar at the top of the screen for easy access. If you use multiple virtual machines on your Mac, the new menu allows you to quickly browse and select your VMs, and also to control individual VMs even when they're not running. The menu can be used to start, shut down or pause a VM, or to switch viewing modes on the Mac desktop.
