Release: VMware Workstation 6.5 / ACE 2.5 / Player 2.5


On September 23 VMware released the much awaited Workstation 6.5 (which includes Player 2.5 and ACE 2.5 products).

With Unity any program running inside a Windows or Linux guest OS can be seen as part of the underlying host OS (Windows only).

  • Kiosk mode (disable any access to the host OS)

  • detection of (some) malicious keystroke loggers inside the guest OS

  • Virtual machine streaming (a VM can be downloaded from a Web Server and run immediately)

  • Integration with VMware Converter 3.0.3

  • Support for accelerated 3D graphics on Windows XP guest OS (only when DirectX 9 physical GPUs are available)

  • Integrated Virtual Debugger for Microsoft Visual Studio (an application running inside the guest OS can be recorded through the Record/Replay feature and the replay can be debugged at a later time)
