About VMWare

VMware ESXi 4.0 Server is free to download! and it comes free with management softwares. Great for barmetal virtualization (no need to install host os) but VMware is very selective on host platforms.

For desktop virtualization, VMware workstation has more features than virtualbox but virtualbox is free. Virtualbox also rocks!

VMWare has been around for quite some time so I trust it.
My friend uses VirtualBox on his Linux. It's also open source so I kinda like but I haven't tried it.

Hi Istoryans,Do you have any experience about VMWare? Post your feedbacks, etc.

Vmware server 1.xx, 2.xx --- stable
Vmware ESXi 3.xx, 4.xx --- stable

So far no problem as long as your host is always updated and patched.

ahm, i think VMWare is not free, but i have used it before but did not like it for my personal preferences.
i find Virtual Box better, its lighter and i think its from "sun" correct me if im wrong.
also the last time i used VMWare it does not have the compatibility for windows vista maybe they have it now

If you're talking about VMWare Workstation, ok ra na on your PC bisag production pa. I haven't had corruption issues even when my host PC crashed. VMWare Workstation is very useful for testing software because the guest PC is isolated from the host PC. Just make sure you have enough memory. For example, when testing Windows 7, you need more than 1Gb RAM on your host for smooth results.

If you're talking about VMWare Server and using it on production, best leave this to the experts.

I used VMware Workstations 7.x in testing Windows Server platform configurations and simulations (AD, DNS, DHCP).

You need high-end physical machine for your host OS, though.
