(plagerized from Wikipedia) VMware Workstation is a hosted hypervisor that runs on x64 versions of Windows and Linux operating systems; it enables users to set up virtual machines (VMs) on a single physical machine, and use them simultaneously along with the actual machine. Each virtual machine can execute its own operating system, including versions of Microsoft Windows, Linux, BSD, and MS-DOS. VMware Workstation is developed and sold by VMware, Inc., a division of Dell Technologies. There is a free-of-charge version, VMware Workstation Player, for non-commercial use. An operating system license is needed to use proprietary VMs such as Windows. Ready-made, free Linux VMs configured for different purposes are available from many sources.
SecureOffice supports the (licensed, $) Vmware Workstation application. Commercial uses must purchase an additional license from Vmware, Inc.
SecureOffice uses Vmware Workstation to host automatically updating web and email servers such as Sme-Server or any other virtual machine. Automatic updates for web and email servers is crucial to deal with ever changing virus and security threats without requiring costly manual maintenance.
