Run multiple operating systems simultaneously on a single PC
Get more out of your existing computer hardware. Use the free VMware Player application to run multiple operating systems simultaneously on a single PC.
With VMware Player, you can use any virtual machine created by VMware Workstation, VMware Server or VMware ESX Server, as well as Microsoft virtual machines and Symantec LiveState Recovery disks. Use 32- and 64-bit Windows, Linux, NetWare, or Solaris x86 operating systems side-by-side, without rebooting or partitioning your hard drive.
