14 DAY TRIAL // VMware Player 6 is now available for download, bringing lots of new features and support for Microsoft’s new Windows 8.1 operating system.
While the user interface has been simplified to appeal to a broader range of customers, the new version can now work on the latest platforms out there, including Windows 8.1 and Windows 8.1 Enterprise, Windows Server 2012 R2, Ubuntu 13.10, as well as Fedora, CentOS, Red Hat and OpenSuSE distributions.
What’s more, this particular version also comprises VMWare Hardware Version 10, which comes with support for 16 vCPUs, 8 terabyte disks and USB improvements.
“Many additional changes have been made to this Hardware Version including some performance improvements, power savings and compatibility with new processors. We have also made significant improvements in the startup time of VMware Player and in Windows boot time when running Windows virtual machines,” the developing team explained.
