The VMware comparison charts make no differentiation between which guest OSs can be virtualized under Fusion. The Fusion standard editions (I'm still running 5) support the various flavors of Windows and Windows Server along with Linux. The Fusion Pro is geared towards IT professionals who want integration with vSphere in an enterprise environment pluse a myriad of other advanced features. If you were running a Mac Pro with tons of memory and lots of GPU memory it might be advantageous to have Pro as it will allow you to allocate up to 64Gb of RAM and also specifically allocate GPU memory for running hoggish graphics rendering apps like AutoCAD.
