VMware Fusion overview

What is VMware Fusion?

VMware Fusion transforms the user's Mac into a full virtualization workstation, allowing them to run multiple operating systems at the same time on the same Mac. Users can run Windows, Linux or other operating systems without rebooting, or even install them alongside their existing apps. Users can run their favorite Windows applications on their Mac with software like Office 2013 and Internet Explorer.
