At least on the lower end of the virtualisation front.Īs to VMWare releasing a free VM program for Mac, I could only ever see them releasing player like they've done on windows and linux.
What are the initial costs and license issues This really has nothing to do with VMware and is a Windows Licensing issue and therefore you should contact Microsoft Additionally it all depends on the distribution type of the OS. Microsoft on the windows virtualisation front will gain a LOT of users (myself probably included) once they hit feature parity with VMWares current offerings.

Plus because MS have been releasing their VM for free for so long it looks good on their part that they're the underdogs against big bad VMWare. SnS and Per Incident Support sold separatelyVMware Workstation Basic Support/Subscription for 3 years Price multipled by number of licenses purchased. But Microsoft is obviously thinking long term as their free VM software matures and gets onto a feature parity with say VMWare Workstation, people will look at VMWare Workstation and will wonder why they should be buying it. VMware Workstation is offered across three pricing plans, outlined below. VMware Workstation 10 for Linux and Windows, ESD SnS is not required with license purhcase. VMWare I doubt is seeing any disadvantages of not releasing a proper free VM for windows at the moment.
Especially since MS Virtual PC has been reeling people in. The best you can get from VMWare for a free virtual machine is either VMWare Server or VMWare player.įrankly, on the windows front i'm surprised they haven't made a proper free virtual machine program. VirtualBox was first offered by InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH, a Germany company based in Weinstadt, under a proprietary software license, making one version of the product available at no cost for personal or evaluation use, subject to the VirtualBox Personal Use and Evaluation License (PUEL).
