Is VMware Fusion 5.0.5 compatible with OS X El Capitan? I'm currently running OS X 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro along with VMware Fusion 5.0.5.  I want to upgrade to OS X EL Capitan. Will version 5.0.5 of VMware Fusion be compatible?
According to the following VMware kb article: System requirements for VMware Fusion (2005196) VMware Fusion 5.0.x is not compatible with El Capitan as hosting OS.
