I have a 2013 rMBP running OSX Mavericks 10.9. Whatever the process, the new installation assistant in VMware Fusion 6 will walk you through the process in no time. Your installation process for Windows 8.1 will depend on whether you’re downloading an update or installing from a DVD. You’ll also be able to launch Windows 8.1 from a Boot Camp partition included on 2013 Macs. Fusion 6 also supports Windows 8.1 application-style startup menu. You’ll be able to start in desktop mode, view Metro applications in Launchpad and the Applications folder, or pin Metro apps in the dock when in Unity mode. However you acquire Windows 8.1, VMware Fusion 6 and Fusion 6 Professional are ready now to run Windows 8.1 Home, Professional, and Enterprise on your Mac.

Go grab a copy, your neighbours will thank you.Today Microsoft is making Windows 8.1 available for purchase. (Please note, though, there's no XP support here: Sound Lock is for Windows Vista or later.) Verdict:Ī simple and well-engineered solution to an annoying problem. And it's lightweight, too, requiring under 4MB of RAM on our test PC. The program is entirely free, with no adware annoyances or other unwanted extras. If this sounds like a simple idea, then it is, but in our tests Sound Lock worked very well. So quiet sounds remain clearly audible, but Sound Lock will effectively turn the volume down whenever loud scenes crop up. The idea is that you set your speaker and system volumes to a point where you can comfortably hear the quietest sounds.Ĭlick the Sound Lock system tray icon and you're able to set your maximum desired volume.Īnd if you now watch a movie, play a game or do anything else, the program will monitor your audio output and make sure it doesn't go above the volume you've set.
Leave the volume at a comfortable level to hear dialog, and the action scenes are too loud turn the volume down and the quiet scenes may be, well, just too quiet. It's late, and you'd like to watch a movie on your PC, without disturbing others - but there's a problem.
