Just installed 10.10 upgrade on a test machine (rMBP) running Fusion 6.0.3. The Fusion icon is blocked out and when I try running it, a dialog pops up saying that "This version of Fusion 6.0.3 is not supported on this Operating System Version". Just a heads up...
Got a tip for us?

thank you very much for the warning. I am on Vmware Fusion 5 and for me a killer application, because of running ubuntu
No, 10.10 is not a number, its an identifier. It does no follow numeric/decimal conventions, i.e., we have 10.9.3 currently for Mavericks which is not a valid numeric value
The Java SDK installer also compares version numbers in this way. The installer effectively performs a string comparison of OS Version >= 10.7.3, and won't install when that check fails for OS Version=10.10. Fun.
It is indeed bad programming, but that's a pretty cheap dig. The installer isn't written in Java or part of the Java language.
It's called a bug.... . And probably a very minor fix, get over it.
"Java sucks because it contains a bug which won't let me install it on my bug infested beta OS.... But only java sucks, the OS X bugs are good ones because they are a product of Apple."
I doubt very much that those coding the SDK would also code the installer. There's no way you would find such high school level bugs in the language itself.
They work already on v7.x.x and know that v6.x.x has some problems with OS X 10.10.
But I hope they'll release an update for 6.x before the release 7.x and therefore won't force us to pay for an upgrade.
Bummer, thanks for the heads up. Would hate to lose Fusion functionality. Still waiting to download, my internet at home is far too terrible to download a 5+ GB install file.
