VMware Player


VMware Player is a freeware virtualization software product from VMware, Inc., a subsidiary of EMC Corporation. Player can run guest virtual machines produced by other VMware products; it cannot itself create new virtual machines. VMware provides free virtual disk images of several pre-configured operating systems and applications, many of them community-contributed. Freeware tools and websites (such as EasyVMX) also exist for creating VMs, mounting, manipulating and converting VMware disks and floppies, permitting users to create, run and maintain virtual machines free of charge (even for commercial use).

VMware Player also forms part of the VMware Workstation distribution, for the purpose of site-wide installations with client users not licensed to use the full VMware Workstation product.
