Linux distribution, Workstation 11 supports Ubuntu 14.10, RHEL 7, CentOS
7, OpenSUSE 13.2 and many more.
- Ready for Windows 10 Technical Preview – Workstation makes it really easy to evaluate new
operating systems, test software applications and patches, and reference
architectures in an isolated and safe virtual environment. Leverage
Workstation’s Snapshot feature to preserves the state of a virtual machine
so you can return to a known good state or prior preview build at any
time.
- New System Requirements
While
32 bit operating systems are supported inside virtual machines, VMware
Workstation 11 and Player 7 Pro require 64 bit processor and 64 bit host
operating systems for advanced computing and enhanced performance.
