VMware Workstation 7

VMware Workstation 7 is the gold-standard virtualization software for desktop and laptop computers, enabling users to run multiple operating systems on a single PC. With VMware Workstation, users can quickly switch between different computing environments with the click of a mouse, setup multi-tier configurations and networks and easily create multiple snapshots of virtual machines.

With VMware Workstation, users can create and run multiple virtual machines simultaneously on a single PC. VMware Workstation supports 19 versions of Windows and 26 versions of Linux, making it an indispensable tool for IT professionals, software developers and testers, technical sales and support professionals-or anyone who needs to run multiple physical systems as virtual machines on a single desktop.

VMware virtualization software maps physical hardware resources to the virtual machine's resources so that each virtual machine is equipped with its own CPU, memory, disks and network interface cards. No rebooting or hard-drive partitioning is required to switch between the virtual machines. Virtual machines are the full equivalent of a standard x86 machine and are able to run most Windows, Linux and Novell desktop and server operating systems.
