VMWare Workstation

VMware Workstation is a virtual machine software suite for x86 and x86-64 computers from VMware, a division of EMC Corporation. This software suite allows users to set up multiple x86 and x86-64 virtual computers and to use one or more of these virtual machines simultaneously with the hosting operating system. Each virtual machine instance can execute its own guest operating system, such as WindowsLinuxBSD variants, or others. In simple terms, VMware Workstation allows one physical machine to run multiple operating systems simultaneously. 
( for more details on this software please visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VMware_Workstation ).



My Review:

1) Who can use this tool?
a) It is extremely beneficial for the production engineers in software field who need to work on multiple operating systems simultaneously. Students/Learners can use this tool in order to avoid unnecessary installations of multiple operating systems using regular multi-boot.

2) Is it a freeware?
a) Well, the answer is no. It's not a freeware, however interested people can try out its 60 day trail version before you buy.

3) How many OS does it support?
a) As many as you like, because you are gonna run only one extra OS per time apart from original OS on which this software is running.

4) How long you have been using?
a) I just checked the trail version and comfortably worked with it for a month, as I am a learner. But to sure that I will be soon owning one, once I start of my production.

5) How do you rate this software?
a) 4/5 (overall)
