It been ten years since I've installed a virtual machine under Linux,

I downloaded and ran VMware-Player-3.1.1-282343.x86_64.bundle to
install VMware Player with success.
Howver, I have trouble starting it. I have no desktop. Does that make
a differnce?

Is this a bug in the Player? Or must it be started by root?

The second command starts a vmware process, but I gather I should
expect a VMware window to pop up.
I would like to run Windows 7 or 8 in a virtual machine. Any way to
get it cheaply?

I suspect running it this way will require a desktop, I mean it is
hardly likely to pop up something on a desktop that isn't there ;-)
Try reading the man page.
I should also point out that Windows 7 and 8 are both EOL.
