    It works well. As a web application developer, this makes a lot of sense. I can have several different OS's installed on my machine.

    Excellent piece of software. VMWare player has evolved to replace VMWare Workstation now.

    It looks as if it will not run in linux with a windows machine. ??
    Windows with a linux machine yes, but why bother. Just buy a cheap minipc.
    Down link does not work and what's with the having to give them your firstborn just do download it?
