VMware Workstation is a popular program for creating several virtual computers in one system. Designed primarily for programmers and system administrators who need to test applications running in various environments. The proprietary technology of VMware MultipleWorlds makes it possible to isolate operating systems and applications within the framework of the virtual machines being created. In this case, each virtual machine has a standard computer with its own processor and memory.


Key features:
Simultaneous launch of several guest operating systems on one computer
Running a virtual machine in the windows of the desktop of the main operating system and full screen
Installing virtual machines without disk re-partitioning
Running the OSes already installed on the computer without reinstalling or re-configuring them
Running Windows applications on a Linux computer and vice versa
Creating and testing applications simultaneously for different systems
Run applications that have not been tested without risk of disrupting the stable operation of the system or losing critical data
Sharing files and applications between different virtual machines through the use of a virtual network
Running client server and web applications on one PC
Running multiple virtual computers on one PC and simulating local network operation

Key features of VMware Workstation:
Full Windows 8 support including automated installation, optimizations for easier management of the new interface (Metro), support for multiple touches (multitouch) when running on tablets.
Graphics optimization including a more powerful video driver with more features, a new 3D-driver for Windows 8 with the ability to work without hardware acceleration, an improved driver for Windows XP, accelerated and better rendering in graphics applications (AutoCAD, SolidWorks and others).
Native support for OpenGL in Linux clients, without the need for an additional installation of VMware Tools, with accelerated and better rendering.
Password protection to limit access to virtual machine settings, speed settings, file transfer functions, connectivity of external devices and drives, etc.
WSX test service is a prototype of the new generation HTML5 web interface for accessing virtual machines from the browser (including tablets and smartphones) without installing any components. It is recommended to use Google Chrome browsers on Windows, Apple Safari on Mac OS, Ice Cream Sandwich browser on Android 4.0; Internet Explorer 10 has problems.
Download virtual machines from the VMware vSphere cloud system to a local computer.
USB 3.0 support in operating systems with appropriate drivers (Windows 8 and some Linux variants).
Improved implementation of nested virtualization (Nested Virtualization) using Intel VT-x / EPT and AMD-V / RVI extensions, which among other things leads to less resource intensive 64-bit clients.
Limited support for the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor - the ability to install Windows 8 with the activation of a corresponding feature or the installation of a Hyper-V server.
Support for virtual performance analysis tools, which makes it possible to launch applications like the Intel VTune Performance Analyzer.
Significant improvements for connecting to virtual machines via VNC clients.
New tools to quickly free up disk space by optimizing virtual machine files.
Recycled tabs for fast switching between virtual machines.
Quickly enable / disable buttons for virtual machines in tab headers.
Automatic saving of search results for quick return to them in the future.

New in version 15:

New REST API. One of the most important improvements is the addition of a new REST API. This API was implemented in Fusion 10 last year, and now has been moved to the Workstation platform. The REST API allows users to automate tasks of working with virtual machines. Use commands to quickly deploy, configure, and delete virtual machines on the fly to speed development and testing. API version 1.2 adds new capabilities for managing NAT port forwarding and MAC-IP DHCP bindings, which allows users to create complex virtual network simulations using the JSON standard over HTTP / S.
Updated interface. Workstation Pro and Player have received an updated user interface that supports the latest HiDPI and 4K resolutions for scaling both the host system and the guest system. The developers have updated more than 500 function icons, as well as product icons.
Stretching to full screen. Now guest systems can be "stretched" to correspond to high screen resolutions without changing the resolution in the system. Console windows can be made large and readable, and older low-resolution systems look much better.
One-Click-ssh on Linux. If you are using Windows 10 version 1803 or higher, then get access to the new One-Click-SSH feature to quickly open a secure shell for the Linux virtual machine. This feature also works for remote vSphere, ESXi, and Workstation hosts (a network connection is required directly by the virtual machine IP address).
Improved hardware accelerated graphics engine: DirectX 10.1. The new version of Workstation adds support for Direct3D 10.1. Users can now run games and applications that require DirectX 10.1. DirectX 10.1 adds shaders Anti-Aliasing,, Geometry and Compute and serves as a platform for many games and applications.
Added support for Sphere 6.7. Workstation 15 supports ESXi 6.7 virtual hosts, as well as the deployment of the vCenter Server Appliance 6.7 using the vCSA Deployment Wizard. When connected to remote environments, vSphere Workstation now receives information about data centers, hosts, and clusters, which provides greater visibility of the topology of remote objects.
Other improvements
Improved NVMe Virtual Device Performance
Important security fixes (Specter, Meltdown and L1TF)
Virtual Trusted Platform Module
UEFI secure boot
Iommu
VBS support (Guard Guard, Credential Guard) (guest systems)

OS: Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 (x64)
