Editorial Review:
Workstation 5 is desktop virtualization software for software developers. Whether you're working as a software engineer, tester or IT professional, it will help you streamline software development, testing and deployment in their enterprise. Run multiple x86-based operating systems - including Windows, Linux, NetWare and their applications - simultaneously on a single PC in fully networked, portable virtual machines. Create multiple development and testing environments as virtual machines on a single PC and use them to test real world multi-tier configurations, complex networks, and multiple operating systems -- all on a single machine. It also contains a multiple snapshot feature to easily capture and manage point-in-time copies of running virtual machines. System administrators and other IT professionals will test software, new applications, application updates, and operating system patches -- all in virtual machines, prior to deployment on physical PCs or servers in a production environment.

Rating:  - Go with Parallels or Fusion.
After using Parallels at home to triple boot OSX,Ubuntu Linux and Vista, this VMware I use at work with my XP laptop to run server 2003 for our controls system.

Now we can truly virtualize as many Operating Systems (OSs) as we like on a modern rig, all with full networking capabilities that run anywhere between 100% and 75% of the speed as if the OS was actually hard installed on the system. However when we are talking systems with above 512 MB of RAM and better than 2.0 Ghz, you are never going to go with a single OS machine or a multiboot/dualboot when you have seen VMware in action. I have booted Windows XP (you can boot Win 3.1, Win 2K also if you want), ... Read More
Rating: - Amazing and Awesome
This application is terrific. VMWare Workstation eliminates, for most applications at least, the requirement for dual or multiple boot systems. For example, you can switch operating systems with the click of a mouse button. I have actually had three operatiing systems running concurrently on my system.
From the time I loaded the VMWare CD Rom into my disk drive until I had an operational SuSe Linux running in a virtual machine under Windows 2000 Professional was less than three hours. ... Read More
