VMware Offers Free Access to Workstation and Fusion for All Users
VMware has made its Workstation Pro and Fusion Pro desktop hypervisor software free for both personal and commercial use, eliminating the need for businesses and developers to purchase licenses. Despite being free, VMware plans to continue investing in the software's development, relying on revenue from its enterprise virtualization solutions. The software remains proprietary, unlike open-source alternatives like Qemu and VirtualBox. Users can download the Linux version by signing up for a Broadcom account.
