VMware is synonymous with virtualization and is among the most widely used virtualization platforms in IT infrastructures. That expertise is found in its latest desktop virtualization offering, VMware Fusion 5?, now optimized for Mountain Lion. VMware Fusion provides an excellent way to run virtual operating systems on physical (host) machines. The latest version provides a rich, good-performing way to run a virtual instance of Windows 8 on OS X. While VMware's interface is not the dazzling eye-candy of Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac??(although both products support Retina displays) and is not as user-friendly as Parallels; its advanced settings and better performance makes it a solid desktop virtualization utility for power users and business.
Availability and Install
VMware Fusion 5 costs $49.99 but is also available as a free 30-day trial download . To run on a Mac (which is what I tested) it requires any 64-bit capable Intel Mac with 4GB RAM, at least 750MB of free disk space, and at least 5GB for each virtual machine (VM).
As mentioned, although Parallels has a setup process likely to appeal to those not used to working with virtualization, VMware's Easy Install wizard makes installation fairly simple, and even average computer users shouldn't have too much trouble with setup. Creating a virtual Windows 8 machine was a bit faster using VMware, and it took a little less than 20 minutes.
VMware's setup process and instructions are heavier on virtualization lingo. For example, VMware stores newly created VMs in a Virtual Machine library. Users can add new VMs and folders to this library as part of installation. Other setup possibilities include creating a new Boot Camp configuration, migrating an existing Windows PC to run as a VM on a Mac, or importing a VM.
VMware appeals to power virtualization users because not only can you add a new VM or use an existing one, but you can also create custom VMs.
While creating a Windows 8 VM on a Mac using VMware isn't terribly difficult, it does offer more customization options than Parallels, which will appeal to more advanced users These advanced features make VMware similar in feature-set to another desktop virtualization solution, VirtualBox. When compared with Parallels, VMware is also more suitable for business environments.
