The VMware Player is free and there is a more advanced program BMware
Workstation wich has to be purchased. The last time I checked it was
arount $190. It adds features like taking snapshots and movies to make
it easier to restore previous states of the guest Operating System.
Since the guest Operating System is contained in files, making a copy of
the entire directory of the Virtual Machine provides an easy backup,
acting much like a snapshot.
There are JAWS scripts that were written by Chris Hallsworth and myself.
We started them for Player 2.5, which had many accessibility issues.
Player 3.x really does not require any scripts. The Player now also
allows you to create Virtual Machines just like Workstation. In my view,
the Player free product meets most users needs. Advanced users might
want to consider the added features of Workstation.
The scripts for Player and Workstation are bundled together and located at:
http://mysite.verizon.net/marangs/VMware.html
Verizon no longer allows ftp to their free web space, so these pages
will be moved soon to DonaldMarang.org.

real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I
am working on things that matter.

Hello,
Is VMware free or does it cost? From the website it looks like it costs.
Thanks,
