VMware Workstation is a hosted hypervisor that runs on x64 versions of Windows and Linux operating systems^[4] (an x86 version of earlier releases was available);^[3] it enables users to set up virtual machines (VMs) on a single physical machine, and use them simultaneously along with the actual machine. Each virtual machine can execute its own operating system, including versions of Microsoft Windows, Linux, BSD, and MS-DOS. VMware Workstation is developed and sold by VMware, Inc., a division of Dell Technologies. There is a free-of-charge version, VMware Workstation Player, for non-commercial use. An operating systems license is needed to use proprietary ones such as Windows. Ready-made Linux VMs set up for different purposes are available from several sources.

I was looking for the free VMware Player, which was available for quite some time. Turned out, the free Player still exists - but is now called 'VMware Workstation Player (formerly known as Player Pro)'. どれも便利で使いやすいのですが、その中でもっとも便利なものの1つに VMware VIX があります。 VIXは仮想マシンの自動化処理にもっとも効果を発揮します。 The VIX API allows development of scripts and programs that automate virtual machine operations. The download package includes.

VMware Workstation supports bridging existing host network adapters and sharing physical disk drives and USB devices with a virtual machine. It can simulate disk drives; an ISO image file can be mounted as a virtual optical disc drive, and virtual hard disk drives are implemented as .vmdk files.

VMware Workstation Pro can save the state of a virtual machine (a 'snapshot') at any instant. These snapshots can later be restored, effectively returning the virtual machine to the saved state,^[5] as it was and free from any post-snapshot damage to the VM.

VMware Workstation includes the ability to group multiple virtual machines in an inventory folder. The machines in such a folder can then be powered on and powered off as a single object, useful for testing complex client-server environments.

2016 company changes and future development[edit]

VMware Workstation versions 12.0.0, 12.0.1, and 12.1.0 were released at intervals of about two months in 2015.^[6] In January 2016 the entire development team behind VMware Workstation and Fusion was disbanded and all US developers were immediately fired.^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10] The company said that 'the restructuring activities will not impact the existence of any current product lines', that 'roles and responsibilities associated with particular businesses will be moved to other regions and office locations', and that investment would continue 'with emphasis on our growth products'. The future of Workstation and Fusion became uncertain. On 24 April 2016 maintenance release 12.1.1 was released. In September, same year, the company announced that 'we’re very much alive and well'^[11]. Consequently, on September 13 Workstation 12.5 and Fusion 8.5 were released as free upgrades which added support for Windows 10 Anniversary edition and Windows Server 2016.
