Download VMware Fusion 6.0 build 1296151

VMware has released version 6.0 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. The main improvements made in version 6.0 can be found below.

Extend the unique features of Mavericks to your Windows environment such as taking full advantage of every display connected to your Mac with multiple display support. Use AirPlay to view your Windows environment on your HDTV. VMware Fusion 6 also lets you use the OS X Mavericks dictation feature throughout Windows applications on your Mac. (Complete support for OS X Mavericks depends on the final release of the operating system.)
