Russell Pavlicek takes a look at VMware Workstation 3.1.1, a popular tool similar to Win4Lin, over at NewsForge.net. “In the thunderous noise of this growing herd of desktop alternatives, it is easy to forget that other options have existed for some time. Such is the plight of (the non-free) VMware Workstation, a virtual machine architecture that has been serving Linux users since 1999.”
“Of course, VMware Workstation is more than just a way of using Windows software on a Linux box. VMware is a virtual machine architecture that runs x86-based machines under Linux or Windows. It can host a number of guest operating systems, including Linux, FreeBSD, and various versions of Windows.”
