![]() I stopped the stopwatch when each activity ended, as measured by allowing user input. The iMac ran some typical background apps: Mail, Safari, BBEdit, and Activity Monitor Time Machine was disabled. Then I averaged the two results to get the results shown here. After a full launch-to-shutdown cycle, I quit the app, restarting before the second test. I used the iPhone’s stopwatch to hand-time each item twice. To ensure that I was making fair comparisons, I matched the CPU and memory count of each virtual machine in each virtualization app: two CPUs for all, 1GB of RAM for Ubuntu, 2GB of RAM for OS X, and 4GB of RAM for Windows (due to some game-testing requirements). On each of my Macs, I created three virtual machines for both Parallels and Fusion: Ubuntu (a Linux variant) 12.04 LTS, Windows 8.1 public preview, and OS X 10.8.5. This is mildly annoying because you then have to manually delete the spurious virtual machines from the list. vmc extension-the scan turned up three Vue 9 macro files on my iMac and labeled them virtual machines. In my case, the list included anything with a. The resulting list includes any files that Parallels deems to be potentially usable virtual machines. Parallels does an odd thing when it first launches: It scans your drive for other virtual machines, and lists them in its virtual-machine library window. But there are no direct links for downloading and installing virtual machines it’s up to the user to find appropriate sources. The main screen shows only two options (install from disc image, and import a real PC) a More Options button includes the ability to install from the OS X recovery partition, along with some other options. The Parallels setup screen makes it a snap to create a virtual machine and to download the required software for Windows 8.1 Preview, Chrome OS, and more.įusion can do all of these things, too, but its wizard is less granular. It includes links for downloading and installing the Windows 8.1 preview, Chrome OS, Ubuntu, and Android operating systems, and for using the recovery partition to install OS X. The Parallels Wizard screen lets you use a DVD or image file to install an OS, or (alternatively) migrate from a real PC. The app is available with a free trial on the VMware website as well.Both Fusion and Parallels make creating new virtual machines very easy, though finding and/or buying the virtual machines you’d like to create is simpler with Parallels. You can find the full VMware announcement on its blog. On Apple Silicon, Fusion can deliver OpenGL 4.3 with blazing fast 3D hardware acceleration to arm-based Linux virtual machines with Linux kernel 5.19 or greater.įor installation, Fusion 13 from VMware is a single binary in one DMG, meaning it’s easy to install on any Mac whether they feature an Apple Silicon or Intel chip. On Intel, Windows continues to enjoy DirectX 11 graphics, and Fusion continues to support eGPU devices for incredible performance using some of the fastest GPU’s available. In terms of graphics performance, VMware is touting some impressive numbers:įor Graphics, Fusion 13 sports OpenGL 4.3 in Windows and Linux VMs on Intel, and in Linux VMs on Apple Silicon. However, for users who want to run more traditional win32 and 圆4 apps, Windows 11 on Arm has built-in emulation to run those applications compiled for Intel/AMD, and as a user-level process our testing has shown us that this works ‘out of the box’. ![]() ![]() With certified and signed drivers Windows 11 looks fantastic, and adjust the resolution to 4K and beyond! ![]() In this release VMware Tools provides virtual graphics and networking, and more is still to come. On Apple Silicon, we’ve introduced our first round of features for Windows 11 on Arm. Like macOS, Widows 11 also offers emulation features for running Intel versions of apps: For Apple Silicon processors, Mac users will need to run the ARM version of Windows 11. This update allows users with Apple Silicon and Intel-powered Macs to run operating systems like Windows 11 in a virtual machine, letting you use the Windows 11 experience right alongside macOS. This marks the first version of VMware Fusion that offers Apple Silicon support in final form, with the company having previously tested the feature in beta. VMware has announced the official launch of Fusion 13, a big update to its virtualization software that offers native support for Apple Silicon. ![]()
