VMware ACE
Distribute VMs created inside of VMware Workstation 7 with VMware ACE.
That’s true I talked a lot about the new VMware Workstaton 7 or VMware Player 3 (which can create a Virtual machines now), but there is one more desktop product which is quite cool too. It’s VMware ACE.
VMware ACE is packaging desktop application working together with Vmware Workstation. You can deploy the fully configured VM to your clients, co-workers, and centraly manage security and update profiles with ACE Management server.
The new VMware ACE 2.6 added support for Windows 7, but other systems (linux too) are supported as a guest VMs or as a host.
