I think Vmware Workstation Player is great for test, dev environments allowing you to easily spin up virtual machines on a number of OSes. It is not as well suited for large enterprise environments as there are other more robust solutions from VMware that would work better. If you want to spend little or nothing this is your solution.

Virtual machine management "on the go"

Mange, transfer, test, change, [and] install virtual machines in different locations and environments. With a laptop you can take parts of your environment with you to test and develop. You can easily create a copy or clone of a VM to test out things without affecting the production environment or network.

VMware Workstation Player for all your OS sandboxing needs

VMware will work great for the following test scenarios:
  • Testing windows updates on a system
  • Testing a new software or a new software version
  • Creating a sandbox to test options/features of an OS
  • Creating different VM to test a software on different OS without the need to have physical machines for all of them
You can also use it as a "player" only where you have that static VM that you run from time to time as with my use for SAS University. Whenever you need to use the software, you simply start that VM.

Still a great workstation

Great way to test out different software or OS without having to install them directly to your PC. Switching between operating systems is fluid and easy, without the hassle of needing to restart. Great for quick developing or tweaking of minor settings without having to apply them directly to your PC using trial and error.
