How-to install VMware Workstation

For beginners: Installation VMware Workstation and setting up a Virtual Machine.

Little video founded on YouTube for people wanting to test vMware workstation for the first time. Since this is a HD video so the quality is just fine. You’ll be able to see how-to install and setup vMware Workstation on your computer and create a virtual machine running Windows 7 Operating system.

For people wanting to buy VMware workstation (hurry up, because there is a PROMO at the moment – 30% off the price if you buy more than one product, see more details here), there is also a free online course from VMware, where you can learn not only the basics, but also more advanced stuff, like using one of the new features of VMware Workstation 7 – Autoprotect, or using the new virtual network editor….

There is a lot of new features introduced in VMware workstation:

• Windows 7 support – of course the fancy 3D Aero graphics support with Flip 3D and Aero Peek to show live thumbnails of your virtual machines.

• Run even more 3D applications with DirectX 9.0c Shader Model 3 and OpenGL 2.1 support in Windows virtual machines.

• Test your knowledge on vSphere by installing ESX 4 Server directly as a virtual machine inside of VMware Workstation 7 without any necessary tweeks of your VMX files.
• See the new virtual network editor

• Autoprotect feature (for automatic snapshots) are just great..

• Automatic Update of VMware Tools –  The latest release of VMware tools is downloaded from VMware Website.
• Support for new OS on the guest and on the host system.
