6 Getting Started with VMware Fusion
VMware, Inc.
What You Can Do with VMware Fusion
With VMware Fusion, Intel-based Mac users can:
 Run your favorite Windows and Linux applications on an
Intel-based Mac – With VMware Fusion, you can run your favorite
applications side by side with Mac applications using virtual machines
running a wide range of Windows and Linux operating systems, without
rebooting.
 Create virtual machines – VMware Fusion provides a New Virtual
Machine Assistant to guide you through the process of creating a virtual
machine, including Windows Easy Install and Linux Easy Install—making
installing your favorite operating system easier than ever.
 Import virtual machines – Import virtual machines created with
Parallels Desktop or Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac directly from
VMware Fusion.
 Graduate from Boot Camp– VMware Fusion can make use of your
existing Boot Camp partition, or, when you’re ready, can import your
Boot Camp partition into a virtual disk, letting you reclaim your Boot
Camp space.
 Keep your Windows safe – VMware Fusion lets you take multiple
snapshots—pictures in time—of your virtual machines, keeping them
safe in case of any issue. And VMware Fusion AutoProtect takes
automatic, periodic snapshots to keep your virtual machines safe from
unexpected harm.
 Get the most out of your Mac – Run powerful 64-bit virtual machines,
including server operating systems like Windows Server, Linux Server,
and Mac OS X Server Leopard in virtual machines. Attach up to 8GB of
RAM and four virtual processors to a virtual machine, for server-grade
performance.
