Hi. Ok I do not know. My brother told me, that the difference on the vm fusion and the vm fusion pro is that the vm fusion only lets you run windows and the pro version lets you run other virtualisation systems too as linux. But I am not an expert. Best regards Annie. Den 08/09/2014 kl. 22.38

Hi. Another thing is as I understand it that you need the pro version if you e.g. wants to run linux. I can really recommend vmware fusion pro it is much faster here than version 6. I also got the server error the first two times I tried to buy vmware fusion. My brother helped me to buy it

Yeah, but even if you don't actually run OS X Server, the Server Mini is the only one with two identical SSDs inside. That's the ideal machine for using either OS X or bootcamped/virtualised Windows in simultaneously. It works very well, though I'm now using mine for RAID 0 Linux. :) -- You
