Jason, I'll just list down some of the highlights of the two version. VMware workstation (non-free use) - You can make clone of existing VM - You can make unlimited and multiple snapshots(by date) of the existing VM. - you can clone snapshot and make it a regular VM or link only with the existing snapshots (saves you diskspace and time of bootstrapping a new VM)
- by snapshots means +you can save the previous state of your OS, and revert or forward to your desired state (good for debugging) Good example of state/snapshot : +state1(you installed apache) +state2(patched apache) +- oops apache crashed! hmmm ok revert to state1 VMware server (free) - you cannot clone a snaphot (although you can copy the folder physical and save it as another name) - you can only make 1 snapshot - with web administration, remote login/administration - probably lots of other advantages (i don't know) but snapshot feature is the highlight of the "workstation" version. hope that helps.
