VMWare Server installs on top of the OS, either Linux or Windows.
Player only lets you run pre-built VMs, although there are
work-arounds for that :)
Server lets you build and install your own VMs. It differs from ESX
in that it requires a base OS whereas ESX installs on the bare
hardware.

If you could clear up something for me I would appreciate it. I under
stand that Player lets you run a virtual machine that you can download from
numerous sources but I'm not sure what the Server does for me. Is that
installed as the base OS on a box and than you run virtual machines inside
of it?

Mag,
As far as I can remember VMWare Workstation was always a limited time trial.
VMWare Server is free to use as is VMWare Player, with the usual "free
as in beer, YMMV, read the license, etc." caveats.

Hey all,
I have noticed Vmware Workstation is not free to download anymore. We have
to use the 30-day free trial and apply a serial number. Or am I missing
something?
TIA
