I'm running windows 8.1 on a retina MacBook Pro with 16GB of ram. I've downloaded version 7 (which I currently have a license for) and I'll be looking to create a couple of VMs. I'm wondering given the promotion that VMware is running if its worth upgrading to 10? I see the features that it adds vs. version 8 and 9 but not 7 (I guess my version is getting long in the tooth).
Is version 10 worth the upgrade as I'm on win8.1? How stable is 7 on windows 8.1? I'll be playing either version 10 or 7 tonight.
Also I'm planning on using this on a Surface Pro 3 once my order ships.
That's basically a Haswell Dual core 1.9 GHz Intel Core i5-4300U computer with 8 GB of storage. Any idea how well that will perform. I'm rocking right now with a quad core i7 (Ivy Bridge).
Thanks in advance.
Mike
