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.
