VMWare released today the VMWare Player, a freely downloadable tool that 'plays' virtual machines (it just doesn't let you create any). This can prove a very important tool for OS makers who would like to demo their OS to new users, users who don't want to burn live CDs and also keep the OS makers safe from any hardware incompatibilities in the user's machine (as the OS would run inside VMWare Player, the compatibility is always guaranteed). VMWare already posted a demo for their VMWare Player, a 200 MB 'Browser Appliance' based on Ubuntu.

The player is great stuff. Also if you are looking to demo ESX capabilities and and advanced features like Vmotion or play around with either FC or Ethernet based iSCSI SANs, you can get demo software that works well with the VMware offerings at:
