VMware Player allows you to run virtual machines on Windows (or Linux)...but on this blog we are only interested in Windows! The current version is 2.5. It's used to operate VMs created by VMware Workstation, VMware Fusion, VMware Server or VMware ESX and Microsoft Virtual Server and Microsoft Virtual PC virtual machines. Woo hoo! If you want to run Sage (open source math application) on Windows YOU NEED VMWARE PLAYER!!!
A lot of investment is going on in hypervisor technology.
Hypervisors may include software or hardware used to create virtual machines. They are also known as VMMs or virtual machine monitors, and are referred to as hosts, with the VMs they create being known as guests. The term hypervisor is actually quite old in computer terms, it dates from 1974 in an article by Gerald Popek (PhD mathematician from Harvard, later to taken on various CTO roles) and Robert Goldberg. They came up with the hypervisor classification of Type 1 (bare metal, or the "old IBM way") and Type 2 ("software way") which is adopted by many companies such as VMWare. A Type 2 hypervisor is also known as a "hosted hypervisor".
A lot of dynamics around the industry are changing in the area of virtualization.
