The VMware Workstation 5 for Linux screenshots I took still aren’t up on the VMware website, due to busy schedules and other priorities. I have, however, been told I can make them publicly available, as the product is released. So, until they’re officially up, here are the Workstation 5 for Linux screenshots:
 VMware integrated into the user’s desktop, with themed folder icons, MIME-Type icons and all. |
 VMware with the Gorilla GTK+ theme |
 A virtual “team” of VMs, running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, Windows 2000 Pro, and Windows XP, all networked together. Each “thumbnail” is an active updating view. Screen savers are fun in teams. |
 Another teams screenshot, without the settings dialog. |
 yet another teams screenshot, this time showing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 as the current VM. |
 Last teams screenshot, showing just the window and not the full desktop. |
 The settings dialog for teams. Virtual LAN segments can be added, removed, and modified, with artificial packet loss and speeds introduced. |
 The Snapshot Manager dialog, which allows users to add, remove, rename, and switch to snapshots in time. |
 The New Virtual Machine wizard |
 The Virtual Machine Settings dialog. Here, new hardware can be added, memory changed, and various options frobnicated. |

Hi, good job. It’s not fully HIG compliant but close enough 🙂
I was wondering about the graphic performance (yeah, for games). I think I read somewhere that this VMWare would be able to use opengl acceleration where available.
Do you think it’s a viable alternative to cedega for games on linux ?
I’m using it (have been since you first posted about the beta) and it absolutely rocks! I’m still in the trail period, but I am *definitely* going to buy this version. Keep up the good work!
Seb: What in particular strikes you as not HIG-compliant about those screenshots? I’d like to know so I can fix them! 🙂
Well I’m not a specialist, just a regular Gnome user, and when I saw these I immediately thought that the help / cancel / ok buttons didn’t look right. I *think* the help button is supposed to be on the left side. And also, that thin gray line above the buttons is definitively not a Gnome thing 🙂
Is this using a .glade file? It would be so cool to have the power and ability to adapt the userinterface 🙂
Not that you’re doing a bad job :-), just that I can imagine several possibilities on embedded systems.
lotso: Actually, I should only have 1GB of RAM in that box. Where do you see 1.5GB?
Philip: It doesn’t use a .glade file, sorry!
On the vm-settings screen shot we can see the upper limit (1.5Gb)! 🙂
Congrats :)))
