Well, VMware Workstation 7 is now here. One of the key products of the company in Palo Alto. Not to mention VMware Workstation was the first Virtualization platforms offered for the X86 architecture. VMware has always succeeded to surprise its users with new amazing feature with each new release of VMware Workstation & VMware Workstation 7 is no exception. I have been thrilled with it since the beta stage, being a beta test.
VMware Workstation 7 bring a ton of new features with it, below is a summary of few of the new features that has called my attention:
- Support for Windows Vista Flip 3D / 7. Wow VMware Workstation 7 is the first virtualization platform that supports the Windows Aero 3D graphics. Being the first to support it has amazed me & make me wonder what is Microsoft thinking with Aero 3D graphics being their product. Hello Microsoft!!!
- Support for Windows 7 in their 32 and 64 bits versions.
- Better support for 3D applications with DirectX 9.0c and OpenGL graphics Model 2.13D in Windows VMs. We can play more than ever was possible before :-)
- 4vCPU support and 32GB of RAM per VM ... I doubt you would need more, that if you can find a PC or a TP which can support that load of memory.
- Support VMware ESX
- 4 and ESXi 4. Stop your manuals and tricks to install ESX. You select the operating system, next, next, yes and enjoy! This is an amazing tool for Virtualization professionals for testing new features in VMware ESX/ESXi 4 as well running demo for customers. Again Hello Microsoft, this is never possible with Hyper-V.
- Improved Unity mode. Although this is not totally new to VMware Workstation 7, but the stability & usefulness of it has been dramatically improved in my opinion. I love Unity mode as it allow me to run any Windows application under my Linux Desktop as if they were natively running in Linux. It has helped many people moving to Linux, without having to leave all their Windows apps at once. Ah sure you can do the opposite and get Linux APPs to run simultaneously under windows if you want to. In my opinion, this is one of the greatest features in VMware Workstation J.
Great, you have got this far. Don’t waste more time & head to VMware site & download your VMware Workstation 7 trial & try it out for yourself.
