There was also a VMware Player update last week


As I said in one of my previous articles, there was a update for VMware Workstation 6.5.2 last week. I missed also the update of VMware Player which goes to 2.5.2. Event that there is VMware Server, and this product went to 2.0.1 version I still prefer to use the lightweight Player.
