   VMware Fusion 10.1

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   VMware has released version 10.1 of its [1]VMware Fusion virtualization
   package in both standard and Pro editions with improved guest support
   for the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. In particular, it addresses an
   issue where using Microsoft Office to save modified files to a VMware
   shared folder would fail, and resolves appearances of a black screen
   after exiting Unity view and a gray border around a guest window after
   switching to Unity view.

   VMware notes a known issue affecting Macs with Intel Skylake processors
   (see '[2]Apple Updates 12-inch MacBook, Bumps MacBook Air RAM,' 19
   April 2016) and Intel Kaby Lake processors (see '[3]Apple Beefs Up iMac
   and MacBook Lines, Teases the iMac Pro,' 6 June 2017) that are running
   macOS 10.13 High Sierra, where Windows 10 virtual machines display
   glitches when the resolution is greater than 4096 pixels.

   VMware Fusion 10 costs $79 for the standard edition and $159 for Fusion
   Pro (a $40 decrease from the previous release). Those with Fusion 7, 8,
   or 8.5 licenses can upgrade for $49 (standard) or $119 (Pro). Purchases
   of version 8.5 made on or after 22 August 2017 are eligible for a free
   upgrade. You can download a free trial from this [4]VMware store page.
   ($79.99/$159.99 new, $49/$119 upgrades, free update from version 10,
   470 MB, [5]release notes, 10.11+)
