 VMware - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
VMware Workstation software consists of a virtual machine suite for Intel x86-compatible computers which allows the creation and execution of multiple x86 virtual computers simultaneously.
VMware Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of EMC Corporation, is a major vendor of virtualization software for x86-compatible computers, including VMware Workstation and the freeware VMware Server and VMware Player.
The computer and operating system instance that executes the VMware Workstation process is referred to as the host machine.

 VMware - definition of VMware in Encyclopedia
VMware is a virtual machine suite for Intel x86-compatible architectures which allows the creation and running of multiple virtual x86 computers simultaneously, which can run a number of guest operating systems, including (but not limited to) Windows, Linux, and BSD variants.
With VMware you can try LiveCDs without burning them onto physical discs or rebooting the computer.
So unlike with an emulator, you cannot use VMware to run Mac software on a wintel PC, or vice versa.

 Kurt Seifried - Information security / IDS / Honeypotting with VMware - basics
VMware is capable of running all versions of Windows, Linux, most of the BSD family, Solaris for Intel, Novell NetWare, and a number of other operating systems are unsupported but can be made to work.
One way to identify VMware systems is by their BIOS, there are a number of free windows utilities that can query the BIOS for information and even extract a copy of the BIOS from the VMware system.
VMware is essentially a set of software products, the workstation version installs onto Windows or Linux and allows you to run numerous Intel based operating systems on top of it.

 Next-gen VMware software to get memory boost CNET News.com
The number of independent operating systems VMware Workstation currently can run is limited by how much memory a computer has, because each copy--called a virtual machine--needs as much memory as a regular standalone computer.
VMware Workstation works with two categories of operating system: the hosts on which the software runs and the guests that can run as VMware virtual machines.
VMware faces competition chiefly from Microsoft, but also from SWsoft, Sun Microsystems and start-up VirtuOS Computing.

VMware’s website lists all supported versions of Linux but I’ve personally tested Mandrake, Redhat, TurboLinux, Gentus, Debian and Suse and all of them worked.
This is important since the "virtual" machine will be optimized for the particular OS chosen and the OS of the “virtual” PC determines the VMware Tools install files.

VMware is a notch up from being "just" a Windows emulation environment.

VMware is probably too expensive for non-commercial users, but Workstation 5.0 is just as valid for home use as it is for software testing.
VMware Workstation now has 64-bit host support, the ability to capture multiple snapshots for each virtual machine, easier sharing of virtual machines, and the ability to connect multiple virtual machines in a "team" setting.
One valuable feature that has been present in VMware for the past several versions is the ability to take a "snapshot" of a working guest operating system.

 Review: VMWare Workstation 3.1 vs Virtual PC 4.3.2 vs Bochs 1.4 - OSNews.com
VMware Workstation & VirtualPC are not emulators as Bochs is. They deliver the same output, but the way they work is different.
The problem is that it is a bad interface and it is extra work for the user, especially if you have to deal with lots of floppy disks or CDs.
The Bochs package is only 2 MB, while both VirtualPC and VMware Workstation's packages are a bit less than 20 MB.

VMware does physical machines one better: you can set VMware up so that when you shut down your virtual machine, you can choose to discard all changes to disk since the guest OS was booted.
VMware is a Windows application; what the guest OS sees as a hard disk is really a (big!) file under Windows.
You can run X Windows with Linux under VMware, but I typically don't bother: I use an terminal emulation application under Windows to talk my VMware Linux guests.

While VMware had little competition when it started, Linux vendors are now starting to include virtualization software in their distributions in the form of Xen.
She also noted that SWsoft is trying to work with Linux vendors like Novell and Red Hat to move OpenVZ directly into Linux distributions.
It's cool that they're doing this, and I really appreciate VMware's generosity, but it isn't an unlimited-use, forever-free banana bonanza like all the news articles are saying.

 EMC to Acquire VMware for $635M
Buying VMware, the acknowledged leader in virtualization software for Intel-based servers, will further help EMC in its quest to become a leading storage software provider of virtual computing, in which IT workers configure and reconfigure computing and storage environments with no downtime, according to changes in their business needs.
VMware's software allows such operating systems as Microsoft Windows, Linux and NetWare to run simultaneously and independently on the same Intel-based server or workstation, all while shuttling live applications across systems with no business disruption.
Moreover, he said, EMC and VMware have been working on a stealth product to render multiple arrays in a single view, and incorporate technology from VMware into EMC products to seamlessly manage storage and server virtualization from a single domain.

 » VMware unphased by Vanderpool, Xen virtualization Between the Lines ZDNet.com
According to Raghuram, while VMware is happy to sell single-system virtualization technologies, it's moved well beyond a single system focus–which means that VMware has solutions that surpass other single system solutions such as Vanderpool.
The way this works is that while a virtual machine is running, you can move it from one physical server to another with zero down time and no disruption.
Also, one of the key benefits of VMware is that it takes hardware dependencies out of the equation.
