I’ve been using VMware products for the last several years and it has truly helped me expand my knowledge of my job as I’m able to better learn and test operating systems as well as software without having to setup multiple machines or multi-boot systems. You’re even able to keep a safe backup of your virtual machine. VMware Player is an excellent tool for students and testers as it gives you an environment to use without worrying about corrupting your current system. Microsoft has also been very lenient about virtual machines by not letting inactive VMs count towards a total number of licenses.
It’s even possible to setup file sharing between the virtual machine and the host machine. Other useful features include being able to copy and paste files and text from the guest VM to your host machine makes you feel like you’re working within the same operating system. You’ll be able to designate how much RAM is used by the VM, the amount of processors and cores, as well as plenty of other hardware options. You’ll also be able to configure the hardware of your virtual machine to best optimize performance between the host machine and guest. The usability between VMware Player and the host machine is excellent as well, allowing you to connect and disconnect devices like external disks from and to the guest machine from the host. There have even been instances where users have configured VMware Player to run OS X, though it is not currently supported by VMware. VMware Player supports a wide range of operating systems like Windows, Linux, NetWare, FreeBSD, and Solaris. VMware Player allows you to run virtual machines from a local copy of an existing VM, download a VM, or even run a VM off a network or external disk. VMware has been making life much easier for software testers, developers, and just about anyone who wants to be able to play around in another operating system without making changes to their own system. ˜… Winner of Best Virtualization Tool in 20.
