New Features in VMware Player: Simple but Powerful Virtualization With nearly 20 years of active development, the tool builds from the same platform as VMware Workstation Pro and vSphere, making it one of the most mature and stable solutions for local desktop virtualization.

A simple user interface provides a streamlined approach and enables more focused use cases. Workstation Player is perfect for students, faculty, businesses, and corporate users who need a small sandbox environment for testing or control. For example users of the latest version of this app can create virtual machines that have up to 8TB of hard drive space, 16 virtual CPU threats, USB3, great support of SSD data streaming, and ability to emulate Windows 8.1.

Other benefits are very loose restrictions. Users who have used other VirtualMachine software can clearly see that VMware Workstation Player offers highly competitive performance, often faster than paid programs and even solutions that come from Microsoft themselves.

VMware Player also lets you restore the virtual machine to its previous state, thus preventing any unwanted changes made to your computer. VMware Workstation Player lets you launch any previously created virtual machines on your computer - this makes testing and installing different applications easy and safe.
