Getting Started with VMware Fusion 7
VMware, Inc.
Run multiple operating systems while protecting the integrity of
your Mac – VMware Fusion lets you safely run virtual machines isolated
from the Mac by making use of the hardware-level security and fault
isolation of virtualization solutions.
Evaluate and use prebuilt applications easily – With VMware Fusion,
you can download and safely run prebuilt applications designed to solve
specific problems in virtual machines that are available from the growing
library of virtual appliances. See the Virtual Appliance Marketplace at
http://vam.vmware.com/.
The Virtual Appliance Marketplace includes virtual machines from
various software vendors, as well as virtual machines that are
preconfigured with popular open source software. With VMware Fusion
you can download and try a completely configured Linux virtual
machine without having to be a Linux expert or you can try
preconfigured business appliances with applications from leading
software vendors, including Oracle, Red Hat, Novell, BEA, SpikeSource,
IBM, and MySQL.
