Broadcom purchased VMware, and has now decided to make Workstation 17 Free for Personal Use, and discontinue Workstation Player.

This means you don't any excuses for not switching from VirtualBox to VMware, because it was too expensive. Workstation is by far a more polished VM platform than VirtualBox. Neither are hypervisors, but VMware is generally easier to learn than most hypervisor platforms.


Commercial users have to continue paying, but will switch to a simpler subscription model.
