Customer Reviews

VMWare Workstation
This is a must have for computer software developers, on my workstation (quad core, 8 gigs of ram, 64 bit Vista) I have the following VMWare guests

* Windows 2003 Server, SQL Server
* linux (debian 4), mysql
* Ubuntu
* Windows XP
* CentOS 5

The ability to create snapshots and rollbacks is very useful, as it running all of these systems as a test environment on one machine.

One of the reasons why I purchased VMWare is that it works with Vista64.

You may want to look at VMWare Server - which is a free product that has the basic similar functionality.

Where is the CD for Linux?
The title of this product is "Workstation V6 Win CD." Amazon sells another product called "Workstation V6 Linux CD" which you can see by clicking the "other products by VMware" highlighted phrase at the top. Some reviewer are reporting they get both products in one box, and some report they don't. Seems best to be sure what host operating system you want to use this product on and buy accordingly.

Gold standard of Virtualization
The best just keeps getting better! New features and now you get both the
Windows version and the Linux/Unix Version in one box. It is the Gold Standard of Virtualization Software.
