Broadcom has recently made public its decision to revise the version - naming system for its virtual machine software offerings, namely VMware Workstation Pro and Fusion Pro. From the most recent release onward, Broadcom is set to abandon the long - established 17.6.x numerical versioning pattern. Instead, it will embrace a Microsoft - inspired annual version naming strategy. This change aligns with industry trends where many software companies are moving towards more intuitive and time - relevant version naming to better communicate updates and improvements to users.
