Oh, Parallels is a disaster with Voiceover, from what I'm told. I wonder if
Virtualbox is any good. Especially knowing that it's got a CLI backend.

I've tried Parallels before, like 3 months ago, but no luck with VO.

I like this response. Thank you!
Definitely well thought out.
So you raise very good points. I’m just going to counter and say that it
seems to me like they streamline the code and optimize performance to the
latest hardware and software out there but that’s a marginal gain and I’d
wonder if the user really experiences much improvement.
Some of the updates to Fusion I’ve done really did seem to help with
things like battery life and other tangible benefits but using your logic,
why do we really need a hypervisor at all. Why can’t some means of
compartmentalizing operating systems and running them in parallel be
handled right in the OS or in hardware. Good point!
Since you mentioned parallels? Is that accessible now? I always went
with fusion because I had experienced parallels and had bad luck with VO.
Has this changed?
Do you have a hypervisor you like to use that’s better than fusion or do
you just suck it up and pay the money for fusion like I do?
Thanks for the good points to think about.

But the emulated hardware is sufficient to run Win10. Why on earth is a
PC emulator struggling to support a newer OS when that OS would run on
contemporary hardware of the same age as the current version of VMWare?
Even if there are valid reasons, it’s been less than 12 months. VMWare
makes money from its server business and their desktop products are
fairly marginal. And it has competition from other vendors, notably
Parallels on the Mac (which plays the same silly game), VirtualBox (less
good but free) and the bare-metal hypervisors which everybody is just
giving away now because the technology won’t fly unless it’s free. It’s
a good time to be a desktop Linux user so you can use KVM. :)
So yeah, grrr. Bloody annoying. Better get out my wallet.
