VMware Workstation software consists of a virtual-machine suite for x86 and x86-64 computers. This software suite allows users to set up multiple x86 and x86-64 virtual computers and to use one or more of these virtual machines simultaneously with the hosting operating system. Each virtual machine instance can execute its own guest operating system, such as (but not limited to) Windows, Linux, and BSD variants. In simple terms, VMware Workstation allows one physical machine to run two or more operating systems simultaneously. Other VMware products help manage or migrate VMware virtual machines across multiple host-machines.

Works very well at emulating OS's.
Very handy for testing software idd. I have all the time a VM up and running for testing apps i do not want to test on my main pc
extremely usefull for software testing, or learning to use another operating system
Uses too many resources...
no good.
Great for testing new applications and more importantly in my case server OS's before installing on a production server.
Very useful for developers and people who want to try new apps or OS without installing it directly.
The best environment to try out new programs, new operating systems, and to support different OS's throughout the company.
the most important tool for any developer on a budget.
