Hello there,
Welcome at the VMware community forums.

Hi Vmware
While there certainly are employees of VMware reading and replying to some of the questions in these forums. These are however community forums, which means that a lot of the answers/help you get are by fellow Fusion users. If you need a reaction from VMware itself, then the best way is to contact support.
This requires you to have registered Fusion as that will give you 18 months of support, see also Create a Support Request
I own one of these macs with the not so new but brilliant and crispy Retina displays. I know that Window has it's own problems with High-DPI but others like paralles managed to solve it as well.
So my question to you:
When can we expect a proper Retina implementation that does some clever scaling etc. to use the advantages of the retina display?
In order to be able to even start giving you an answer on your question we are missing a lot of info here.
1. What model is "one of these macs"
2. What version of VMware Fusion are you using?
3. What Windows version are you talking about?
4. Is your virtual machine set to the latest version? (Menu Virtual Machine -> Settings -> Compatibility) It should say "Fusion 5 or higher"
5. Assuming that you are using VMware Fusion 5 -which does have retina support- have you enabled retina support? (Menu Virtual Machine -> Settings -> Display and put a check in checkbox "Use full resolution for Retina display"
And while your looking at it please also fix that annoying resolution switching issue (fallback to native res) when attaching a beamer or other external display.
Are you sure that this is a VMware issue? Eg. With VMware not running the resolution stays the same?
Oh and being able to use a second display form vmware to benefit of all the advantages of the new office would be nice as well ;-)
I think I'm not completely understanding your question here. I'm using this type of setup right now. Using a 2nd external monitor attached to a macbook pro and that works fine for me. In my case I'm using a mirrored display setup. Can you elaborate here how you want to use the 2nd display?
Hope this helps,
