If you haven't come across Lubuntu it is described on DistroWatch as "a fast, lightweight and energy-saving variant of Ubuntu using the LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment) desktop. I did run up a Lubuntu 12.04 image and, wow! The performance is fantastic. I haven't even had my hands on Fusion 5 long enough to get around to running Windows 7 or 8 yet.

There's also USB 3.0 device support for new Macs (which requires Windows 8 or Linux with USB 3.0 support), accelerated 3D desktop support for Linux (including Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 4), improved network performance when using multiple vCPUs, and you can even run OS X Mountain Lion in a virtual machine.īut wait, there's even more! You can run VMware ESXi 5, Linux KVM and Xen, and Microsoft's Hyper-V (experimental) hypervisors in virtual machines.Īctually, I haven't listed all of the improvements. You can also run more virtual machines on large-memory Macs sporting 16GB RAM or more and Windows 7 boot performance is up to 40% faster.

You can run Windows Server 2012 in a virtual machine and you can run Metro applications on your Mac with full screen gestures.īut wait! That's not all! Fusion 5 also supports running Windows 7 and 8 on Retina display-equipped Macs and optionally allows Windows to use full Retina display resolution. You can run Windows from a Boot Camp partition. You can run Windows 8 Home, Professional, Enterprise or any of more than 200 guest operating systems in virtual machines. You can stream Mac and Windows applications using "AirPlay Mirroring" in Mountain Lion. It's user interface is designed for Mountain Lion. So, what does Fusion 5 bring to the table? Well it is optimized for OS X Mountain Lion and for Windows 8 as well. It probably won't work under Fusion 5, but I don't have the patience or desire to try to make it work all over again. My attempt to run the game under Fusion 3.1 didn't work for a number of complex and frustrating reasons that all pivot on the fact the game depends on Windows 95 or 98 running DirectX 6.1 and that combo just didn't work under Fusion 3.1.
