Seriously?????
I can just hear the conversation at the Marketing meeting, "Let's fake out management and boost our sales of flagging Macintosh software by mandating that VMware Player users (all of which by the way are NOT on a Macintosh platform) purchase Fusion so that they get a commercial license for Player."
If your Macintosh solution is dying on the vine, then kill it off. Don't stick your user base with some cockamamie scheme to make it appear a sales leader.
