I personally don’t use Windows much either, mostly for playing games in fact, but VMWare Fusion means more to me as a Linux sysadmin. I’d’ve loved to see it improve to be as feature-complete as Workstation for Linux, even though I imagine that will probably never happen, under whatever

I guess this means there will be no more upgrades to fusion, I no longer use it as I have no more need for Windows on my home computers, and, honestly, I think since Windows 8, it has really gone down hill. But it was a great product when I used it, and very accessible. There are alternatives,
