Software-update: VMware Workstation Pro 26H1

Broadcom heeft versie 26H1 van zijn virtualisatiesoftware Workstation Pro uitgebracht. Met dit programma is het mogelijk om een of meer virtuele computers aan te maken, waarop een groot aantal verschillende besturingssystemen kan worden geïnstalleerd. Op die manier kunnen ze naast elkaar worden gebruikt, in tegenstelling tot een dualbootopstelling, waarbij voor het ene of het andere OS moet worden gekozen. VMware Workstation is beschikbaar voor Windows en Linux, en sinds het in handen van Broadcom is gekomen is het voor iedereen gratis te gebruiken. Wel is een account nodig om het te kunnen downloaden en na inloggen kunnen de downloads hier worden gevonden. De changelog voor deze uitgave ziet er als volgt uit:
