· Workstation 9 has been designed to run on Windows 8 and run Windows 8 virtual machines. Easy Install has been enhanced to recognize Windows 8. Workstation 9 has been enhanced to support the Windows 8 user interface (formerly known as Metro). Toggling between Metro and the Windows Desktop can be done by simply pressing the Windows key on the keyboard and Unity intelligently handles the Metro interface. Workstation 9 also includes multi-touch support for driving the Windows 8 Metro interface running in Workstation on a Windows 8 tablet.

Graphics Improvements:
· VMware has made substantial changes to Workstation 9 graphics virtualization infrastructure. The enhancements include a display-only graphics driver that can render 3D in Windows 8 without hardware acceleration, improvements to make graphics applications like AutoCAD and SolidWorks render more quickly and accurately, an improved Windows XP graphics driver and fundamental changes to improve performance.
VMware Workstation 8.0.4 released Jun 14, 2012 (New Release)
Resolved Issues:

General Issues:
· On Windows hosts, the VMware Workstation user interface sometimes became unresponsive when minimized from full-screen mode if the suggestion balloon was being displayed.
· On Windows hosts, the user interface sometimes

Security Issues:

VMware host Checkpoint file memory corruption:
· Input data was not properly validated when loading Checkpoint files. This issue could have allowed an attacker with the ability to load a specially crafted Checkpoint file to execute arbitrary code on the host.
· The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2012-3288 to this issue.

VMware virtual machine remote device denial of service:
· A device (such as CD-ROM or keyboard) that is available to a virtual machine while physically connected to a system that does not run the virtual machine is referred to as a remote device. Traffic coming from remote virtual devices was incorrectly handled.
VMware Workstation 8.0.3 released May 3, 2012 (New Release)
VMware floppy device out-of-bounds memory write:
· Due to a flaw in the virtual floppy configuration it was possible to perform an out-of-bounds memory write. This vulnerability allowed a guest user to crash the VMX process or to potentially execute code on the host.
· The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2012-2449 to this issue.

VMware SCSI device unchecked memory write:
· Due to a flaw in the SCSI device registration it was possible to perform an unchecked write into memory. This vulnerability allowed a guest user to crash the VMX process or to potentially execute code on the host.
· The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2012-2450 to this issue.
VMware Workstation 8.0.2 released Jan 25, 2012 (New Release)
The following issues are resolved in this release of VMware Workstation:
· The ACLs on the PID files needed improvement. VMware thanks Inode0 for bringing this to our attention.
· Releasing input from the guest to the host, for example, moving the cursor from the virtual machine window to the host screen, failed with an unrecoverable error.
· Copying and pasting from a guest to an Ubuntu 11.10 host failed.
· Shared folders did not work in Fedora 16 and OpenSuse 12.1 guests.
· In Ubuntu 11.10 hosts, key repeat was disabled after ungrabbing or quitting VMware Workstation.
· On a Windows host, a virtual machine configured to use a physical disk or partition failed to power on if the host had a volume backed by more than one physical disk, for example, a RAID system.
· On a machine with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 SP1, vix-perl installation failed with dynamic link errors.
VMware Workstation 8.0.1 released Nov 18, 2011 (New Release)
· Graphics performance and compatibility enhancements.
· Improvements in creating and using shared virtual machines and remote virtual machines.
· Ubuntu 11.10 is officially supported as a guest operating system.
· Disk and memory management issues have been addressed.
· Many customer-reported issues have been resolved.

Resolved Issues:
· Windows 7 guest installation failed after powering on the virtual machine with the error A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now.
· VMware Tools failed with the message VMware Tools unrecoverable error.
· VMware Tools failed to start in Fedora 15 guests.
· On hosts with Nvidia GeForce and Quadro video cards, some of the clouds in the Unigine Heaven Benchmark application were drawn solid black.

VMware Workstation 8.0.0 released Sep 14, 2011 (New Release)
Installation Changes and Enhanced Keyboards:
· The hardware requirements to install this version of Workstation have changed. Workstation now requires a relatively modern 64-bit CPU.

· The keyboard filter driver is no longer installed by default. When the driver is not installed, the enhanced keyboard functionality is unavailable and you must press Ctrl-Alt-Ins instead of Ctrl-Alt-Del to send a Ctrl-Alt-Del keystroke to the guest. To use the enhanced keyboard functionality, you must perform a custom installation and select the component. If you select the component, you must reboot whenever you install or uninstall Workstation.

Virtual Hardware Improvements:
· This version of Workstation includes many hardware improvements. To try new hardware features, you must upgrade the hardware version of your virtual machine or create a new virtual machine that uses the latest virtual hardware version.
VMware Workstation 7.1.4 released Mar 30, 2011 (New Release)
Workstation 7.1.4 addresses a local privilege escalation in the vmrun utility:
· VMware vmrun is a utility that is used to perform various tasks on virtual machines. The vmrun utility runs on any platform with VIX libraries installed. It is installed in Workstation by default. In non-standard filesystem configurations, an attacker with the ability to place files into a predefined library path could take execution control of vmrun. This issue is present only in the version of vmrun that runs on Linux

Other Resolved Issues:
· In Workstation 7.1, the default main memory VA cache size (mainMem.vaCacheSize) for 32-bit Windows guests was reduced to accommodate 3D emulation memory requirements. However, the reduced value resulted in performance loss. For 7.1.4, the default main memory VA cache size has been be increased to 1000 MB and performance is improved.
VMware Workstation 7.1.3 released Nov 23, 2010 (New Release)
· OpenGL 2.1 support for Windows 7 and Windows Vista guests — Improves the ability to run graphics-based applications in virtual machines.
· Improved Graphics Performance — Enhanced performance with better benchmarks, frame rates, and improved rendering on Windows 7 and Windows Vista guests allows you to run various graphics-based applications. In addition, major improvements in video playback enable you to play high-resolution videos in virtual machines.

· Automatic Software Updates — Download and install VMware Tools and receive maintenance updates when available.

· Direct Launch — Drag guest applications from the Unity start menu directly onto the host desktop. Double-click the shortcut to open the guest application. The shortcut remains on the desktop after you exit Unity and close VMware Workstation.

· Autologon — Save your login credentials and bypass the login dialog box when you power on a Windows guest.
