*VMware Workstation* is a user-friendly, high performance virtual machine. If
you want to experiment with operating systems, software and other
applications, you'll need to use a virtual machine. Not only will it allow
you to perform actions that would be impossible on your native machine, but
it will also protect you from viruses or mistakes you might make. Here in the
office we use virtual machines for everything, and VMware Workstation is one
of them. Downloading and installing the machine is undoubtedly the hardest
part of using the tool, but once you have that done, it's easy - just follow
the detailed wizards provided to set up your operating systems and configure
your preferences. Once you have an operating system mounted on VMware
Workstation, you'll be able to start using it as if it was any other. Drag
and drop capabilities both to and from your virtual machine are an excellent
addition. Crucially, especially for testers, VMware Workstation allows you to
take snapshots of the system, clone them and revert to the original,
functions that make bug testing extra-efficient. As anybody who has worked
with one will know, virtual machines are not always the easiest tools to use.
VMware Workstation, however, makes the process as painless as possible.
Between the extensive wizards, tips and help files, even beginners will have
no problem mounting and managing virtual systems. The main VMware Workstation
interface is clear, well-explained and easy to view, and of course it allows
you to toggle preferences for both the application itself and the OS it is
running. Ultimately, VMware Workstation allows users, especially testers or
those who are particularly security-conscious, to take advantage of a perfect
system-within-a-system that behaves exactly as a real machine would. It even
allows you to share virtual machines and connect to others via a server,
turning virtualization into a team sport. VMware Workstation is a great
desktop option for all types of VM needs.Download *VMware Workstation 8.0.0*
