VMware Workstation 7.1.4 Build 385536
VMware Workstation Screenshot
VMware Workstation features the ability to run multiple operating systems on the same PC without the need to partition the hard drive, or rebooting. Users can isolate and protect each operating environment, and the applications and data that are running in it. It allows users to interoperate among each of these operating systems, including full networking, device and file sharing, and cut-and-paste capabilities, and undo changes made in a given session. It allows operators to encapsulate and manipulate each operating environment, and have the ability to roll back and restart an application, or move an environment among differently configured machines.

I've always stuck with VMware Workstation. Now that the VMWare Player is free and can now create VMs, is is tempting to switch to it, but I do love the snapshot and clone features. I tried VirtualBox, but it wasn't for me. In all benchmarks I've seen the two are comparable enough for it to not make a difference. However, I'd be VMWare's experience has its benefits in real performance.

confused by rojs' review. Have you used VMW or listened to someone who was paid to use it? In a 14k sized co. why Workstation and not ESX?

VMware Workstation is user friendly and comes along with the finest user manuals I have ever read.I purchased it atwww.software.com/VMware-Workstation-Upgrade-to-VMware-Workstation-7-12420-1with a 25% discount from its regular price None at all!

Plus: it runs every application I need to run without difficulty and plays music clients better than virtualbox. Drag-and-drop is convenient (when it works properly). Minus: eats up a lot of my memory on my 2 GB system so it is more difficult to multitask when I have a browser and other applications running along with it and usually eventually have to reboot to get all my performance back. I plan on getting a 4 GB system soon but it is a shame 2 GB isn't enough anymore unless you only run 1 or 2 sizable applications.

Works great on host Win 7 Ultimate. The guest OS Linux Ubuntu works seamlessly, no lie. This is way cheaper then buying another laptop. Also, this software is very easy to configure. None so far, but if you don't want to pay the price then there is always virtual box.
