Yeah, just read that there is a VMWare Player [1] and also some VMWare images on Virtual Machine Center [2]. Some provided images are available after registration (like BEA, Oracle 10g, ...) and other are free (e.g. Browser Appliance [3]). The player is round about 28 MB and the BrowserAppliance image 200 MB. Haven´t found a hint on the VMware website, but maybe they accept "3rd-party-images" ...
