VMWare Player cannot create VMs. It is used to run existing VMs (either
open source based VMs available for download from VMWare's Virtual

VMWare server does allow the creation of VMs. If I understand some of
the things I'm reading (and my use here at work of server and esx),
major differences between server and it's payware cousin VMWare
workstation are:
- Server runs as a Windows service/Linux daemon
- Server is client/server based. You use a console application to access
your VM. (something akin to VNC)
- Features Workstation has that Server does not: snapshotting of VMs,
full screen mode, shared folders
Shawn,
You can actually create one snapshot in Server, but you don't get the
option of having the snapshot manager like say in Workstation. Other
than that, the web client, and the console connection are really cool on
the network like you mention. Server actually does indeed support full
screen mode. Basically, you're losing the snapshot manager and gaining
the console/web client.
