5.0 out of 5 stars VMWare Workstation
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2008
Verified Purchase
This is a must have for computer software developers, on my workstation (quad core, 8 gigs of ram, 64 bit Vista) I have the following VMWare guests

* Windows 2003 Server, SQL Server
* linux (debian 4), mysql
* Ubuntu
* Windows XP
* CentOS 5

The ability to create snapshots and rollbacks is very useful, as it running all of these systems as a test environment on one machine.

One of the reasons why I purchased VMWare is that it works with Vista64.

You may want to look at VMWare Server - which is a free product that has the basic similar functionality.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY FROM AMAZON
Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2010

I bought 3 of these, version 6.5, from Amazon. When I tried to register them, one of them went through. The other two were already registered to someone else. I called VMWARE and they said "tough luck." Should have bought directly from them. In their opinion, the seller - AMAZON - sold the same license keys to more than one person. Want to try to explain this to customer support? DON"T BUY FROM AMAZON!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Windows Specific
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2008
This is a great product, but this page is slightly confusing. This is a Windows specific version. Although the box you purchase here contains both the windows and Linux versions the serial number provided is specific to Windows. If you are planning on using it with Linux as a host you will need to purchase the Linux version which is not sold by Amazon.

The best just keeps getting better! New features and now you get both the
Windows version and the Linux/Unix Version in one box. It is the Gold Standard of Virtualization Software.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where is the CD for Linux?
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2008
The title of this product is "Workstation V6 Win CD." Amazon sells another product called "Workstation V6 Linux CD" which you can see by clicking the "other products by VMware" highlighted phrase at the top. Some reviewer are reporting they get both products in one box, and some report they don't. Seems best to be sure what host operating system you want to use this product on and buy accordingly.
