VMware Workstation allows you to: Run several operating systems simultaneously in separate virtual machines on a standard PC, Run virtual machine sessions in separate windows on your desktop, or give one of them the entire screen while the others continue to run in the background,
Concurrently run operating systems already installed on a multiboot computer, Install additional operating systems (to be run in virtual machines) without repartitioning your disks, Share files and applications among virtual machines using a virtual network within a PC, Run client-server, or Web applications between virtual machines on the same PC. VMware officially supports Caldera 1.3, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4, Red Hat 5.x and 6.0, 6.1 and 6.2, SuSE 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4.

Our Review: Run an operating system on top of an operating system! With VMware, users can create 'virtual machines', and run different operating systems on each of them. And each computer acts just like a real one, with full networking, sound and disk support. Works like a charm...and you don't have to worry about your machine crashing - start it up again easily. A very powerful utility, one which many users will find handy.
