VMware Workstation 11.0 Release Notes

VMware Workstation 11.0 | 01 December 2014 Last updated: 01 DEC 2014 Check for additions and updates to these release notes

VMware Workstation allows technical professionals to develop, test, demonstrate, and deploy software by running multiple x86-based Windows, Linux, and other operating systems simultaneously on the same PC.

You can replicate server, desktop, and tablet environments in a virtual machine and allocate multiple processor cores, gigabytes of main memory and graphics memory to each virtual machine, whether the VM resides on a personal PC or on a private enterprise cloud.

These release notes include the following topics.

• Known Issues

What's New

• New Operating System Support
  Support has been added for the following guest operating systems:

  • Windows 8.1 Update
  • Windows Server 2012 R2
  • Windows 10 Technical Preview (Experimental support)
  • Ubuntu 14.10
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
  • CentOS 7
  • OpenSUSE 13.2
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise 12

• VMware Hardware Version 11
  Hardware versions introduce new virtual hardware functionality and new features while enabling VMware to run legacy operating systems in virtual machines. New features included in this hardware version:

  • New CPU enablement, including Intel Haswell microarchitecture extension support.

    Workstation 11 is optimized to take advantage of new Haswell extensions, delivering up to 45% improvement in CPU-intensive operations like multimedia, encryption/decryption, and other strenuous performance tests.

  • Updated xHCI controller
  • Updated NDIS drive

• Unity improvements for Windows 8.1 virtual machines
  

• Allocate up to 2GB video memory to a virtual machine

• Improvements for high DPI displays
  Workstation 11 has been optimized to support higher resolution displays such as the new QHD+ (3200x1800) displays used in laptops and x86 tablets.

• Integration with VMware vCloud Air virtual private cloud 
  You can now extend and scale your virtual machines in the external cloud by connecting to vCloud Air and uploading, running, and viewing virtual machines from the Workstation 11 interface.

• Boot virtual machines with EFI support

• Create desktop shortcuts for virtual machines

 

윈도우 8.1 업데이트를 지원하고, 실험적으로 윈도우 10 테크니컬 프리뷰를 지원합니다. 이전버전에서는 버벅이던 윈도우 10 설치가 상당히 원할하게 구동이될 것으로 생각됩니다.

 

그리고 어플리케이션 구동 속도가 상당히 빠릿해 졌습니다. 누르면 바로 창이 뜹니다. 아마 설치 패키지 용량이 줄어든게 그 이유중 하나 이겠죠.
