Download VMware Fusion 6.0.3 build 1747349

VMware has released version 6.03 of Fusion. Fusion is to OS X what Workstation and Player are to Windows and Linux. The program makes it possible to create virtual machines on an OS X machine equipped with an Intel processor. In this way it is possible, for example, to run Windows, Linux or Solaris alongside the existing operating system. In version 6.0, support for Windows 8.1 has been added, among other things, and the program handles Retina screens better. This update also includes the following improvements:

Resolved Issues

• Connecting USB devices while Fusion is running will not cause the Connect to Mac prompt to appear. USB devices are now able to connect to a virtual machine.
• Performance and compatibility with USB audio and video devices has been improved.
• Virtual machine crashes when the Mac comes out of sleep mode have been reduced.
• Locking the system, and then returning to the Mac OS X 10.9 desktop while the virtual machine is running, no longer causes a black screen to be displayed.
• Resolved an issue that could cause the default web browser to be reset in a Windows 8 virtual machine.
• Resizing a Windows XP virtual machine window no longer causes the window to turn black.
• Virtual machines in full screen mode no longer display a black bar at the top of the screen.
• Winlogon.exe now works correctly when using Windows XP in a Boot Camp partition.
• Single mouse clicks are interpreted as double-clicks when running Windows XP virtual machines on OS X Mavericks.
• Virtual machines no longer show a black screen when using Apple TV as an external display.
• VMware Fusion no longer stalls when using a restricted virtual machine without a network connection.
• Improved the ability to use two monitors with the same virtual machine.
• Virtual machines can be started and shutdown from the VMware Fusion menu when VMware Fusion is not open.
• Compatibility issues between shared folders and QuickTime for Windows have been resolved.
• The graphics for Solidworks and JavaFX applications have been improved.
