There are several applications that allow users to run virtual machines on a windows or Linux PC. But one program that stands out in all of these is the VMware Player.

What is the deal about VMware Player?

This freeware enables PC users to easily run any virtual machine on a Windows or Linux PC. VMware Player runs virtual machines created by VMware Workstation, GSX Server or ESX Server and also supports Microsoft virtual machines and Symantec LiveState Recovery disk formats.

This program is ideal for running legacy Windows XP applications on Windows 7 or Windows 8. Using its unity mode, copy-and-paste, drag-and-drop, and networking and printing that do not require any additional setup, XP applications will run seamlessly on modern hardware. It’s the easiest way to run restricted virtual machines on Windows or Linux PCs.

Taking advantage of the latest hardware, it can create virtual machines with up to 4 virtual processors, 2 TB virtual disks and up to 64 GB of memory per virtual machines. VMware Player can easily handle your most demanding applications. This program can be used to convert your existing Windows PC into a virtual machine and eliminate the need to re-install and re-configure your existing applications. Now you can recycle the old machines you have running under your desk or stored in the closet.

Downsides?

This is one of the best virtualization applications around.
