Software Update: VMware Workstation Pro 15.5.2

Spread the love

VMware has released version 15.5.2 of its virtualization software Workstation Pro. With this program it is possible to create one or more virtual computers on which a large number of different operating systems can be installed. That way they can be used side by side, as opposed to a dual boot setup, which requires choosing one OS or the other. VMware Workstation is available for Windows and Linux, and licenses start at about 275 euros. Below are the improvements VMWare has made in version 15.5.2:
