VMware Workstation - a program that is designed for workstations, enables a computer to emulate a standalone working environment of the operating system and work with him as with the conventional system. Using this method you can install different operating systems and applications for them, go online and engage in daily tasks, but with somewhat slower speeds. The benefit of this method is the ability to test various software under various operating systems, without adversely harm the current system, installed on my main computer, as well as some test hardware solutions. It can make life easier for developers to significantly cross-platform applications and lovers to work with the new OS.
VMware Player - a software only to run virtual machines ready (created in VMware Workstation, or VMware Server). VMware Player also works with virtual machines created by GSX Server and applications, ESX Server, Microsoft VirtualPC and Symantec LiveState Recovery. Free solution with a limited, compared to VMware Workstation, functional. There is a part of the full VMware Workstation 7.
VMware VIX API - a library for writing scripts and programs under Dev. The following support systems and programming languages. More information you will find information in your doc, which is installed with the program. Supports Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and above, Linux (kernel 2.4.x and above). Supports programs written in C, Perl, Visual Basic, VBscript, C #. There is a part of the full VMware Workstation 7.
