I discovered a few days ago that VMware now offer a 'Fusion 12 Player', which is free (as in beer) albeit you have to register to get the download + key. Might be worth looking into that?

Hi Stu :)

The link for that is here [0].

The only thing I would add to that is to use a private browser session.

Also as a tip fill in "None" for business name, if you are using it privately - as it is a required field for some ffing reason.

But yes, the free VMware Fusion Player works fine.

wow - long time Wil :)

Good to see you're still knocking around these parts!

hehe.. I was thinking the same.

Hope you are doing well.

Vmware has the best implementation of a paravirtualized GPU IMO, and has for probably a decade. Somehow this rarely comes up, but VMware itself seems to only begrudgingly want to sell their workstation products at this point.
