VMware Workstation 7 is released.
Today released the next version of VMware Workstation virtualization environment under number 7.
From the innovations I would like to note:
- Improvements in 3D support. OpenGL 2.1 and Shader Model 3.0 are supported in Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 virtual machines. Now you can use Aero in Vista and Windows 7.
- Virtual printing allows you, even without installing printers, to print on all printers of the host OS - printers are added to the guest OS automatically and do not require a network.
- Download VMWare utilities over the Internet on demand. VMWare added the ability to download the latest version of VMWare Tools via the Internet including. for new operating systems, which will improve the support of new systems without waiting for the release of the new version of VMWare WorkStation.
- AutoProtect - a new ability to create snapshots of a virtual machine on a schedule for the ability to quickly restore the guest OS.
- Support ALSA. Finally, VMWare began to support audio output in ALSA, which would allow simultaneously outputting sound from the host OS and from the guest without blocking audio devices.
- Improvements in technology Drag and Drop. Support for dragging and dropping images, formatted e-mail attachments and zip folders is now supported in both Windows and Linux.
- Expansion of virtual disks. It is now possible to expand virtual disks, and Windows Vista and Windows 7 can take advantage of this feature without running additional software (Linux LVM should also support this feature - author's news).

VMWare Workstation 7 can be tested for free for 30 days. (Registration is required on the developer's site).
