VMWare Workstation has been a leading hypervisor solution for many years, allowing you to install virtual environments for many tasks, like running Linux within a window on your Windows or Mac computer, or Windows on a Mac, etc. Now, VMWare has released VMWare Workstation Pro and Fusion Pro for free for personal use!
Broadcom, VMWare’s maker, has this to say: “Everyday users who want a virtual lab on their Mac, Windows or Linux computer can do so for free simply by registering and downloading the bits from the new download portal located at support.broadcom.com”
This development is a huge value if you want to run other operating systems virtually on your device. It can be especially helpful for Mac users who may want to run Windows to practice for the Microsoft Office Specialist certifications with GMetrix! Need a Windows license? You can get one as a student, faculty, or staff member by visiting our website.
