After running VB and VMWare Fusion side by side on 10.11 it now seems that co-existence is broken with 10.12 - one whiff of VB on a working Fusion install and Fusion stops working. I have raised the issue with VMWare support.
Thought I would ask here to see if anyone can shed any light?

Re: VirtualBox and Fusion co-existance on Sierra
Can you be a little bit more detailed in your report? Does a "whiff" include running a VM or not? Does it mean running in parallel? Do you stop VirtualBox? How long afterwards do you try to start Fusion? Exact details please.
And if there is any specific message that Fusion produces, like no VT-x is available or anything, please state it as well. Not that we're knowledgeable about Fusion, but it may shed some light about a hanged VirtualBox process, background or not.

FWIW, El Capitan guest in Fusion and Windows 10 guest in VirtualBox running on macOS Sierra.
