VMware Server product is a robust yet easy to use software for users new to server virtualization technology.
VMware Server enables companies to partition a physical server into multiple virtual machines, and to start experiencing the benefits of virtualization.
Benefits of VMware Server
Provision a new server in minutes without investing in new hardware.
Run Windows and Linux operating systems and applications on the same physical server.
Increase the utilization of a physical server.
Move virtual machines from one physical host to another without re-configuration.
With VMware Server you can:
Streamline software development and testing by allowing developers to create multiple environments with different operating systems on the same server.
Evaluate software in ready-to-run virtual machines without installation and configuration.
Re-host legacy operating systems such as Windows NT Server 4.0 and Windows 2000 Server in a virtual machine running on new hardware and operating system.

libview library is a collection of widgets under the MIT license that we developed at VMware while working on Workstation 5. We felt they were general purpose enough to have value to the community. We have benefitted a lot from open source, and felt it was time to make a genuine effort to give back.
Our intention is for the libview SourceForge project to be the one place where these widgets will be developed and maintained. We will not be developing them in-house and pushing them out to the CVS repository. What you see on SourceForge CVS is what were using at VMware. We will be adding more widgets over time to libview as we write them.
Most of the widgets are written in C++ for gtkmm. While this does limit the usefulness to many projects, the projects are free to rewrite them in C and use them.
libview 0.5.1 has been released. This version includes two new widgets, the DeadEntry (a Gtk::Entry that is greyed out when no longer editable) and UndoableTextView (a Gtk::TextView with built-in undo/redo support).
There were some additional bug fixes, and a few test programs have been added.
Enhancements:
- An annoying yet amusing bug in view::FieldEntry was just discovered and fixed.
- Depending on the delimiter used in fields, certain keys may were not allowed to be inputted.
- In the case of our test, where "-" was used as a field delimiter, the character "6" wasnt considered a valid character.
