  VMware, Inc.

VMware Workstation

Expand the Power of Your PC with Virtualization

Discover the true power and flexibility of your desktop or laptop computer with VMware Workstation. Reduce hardware costs by 50% or more by running multiple operating systems simultaneously on a single PC. Automate and streamline tasks to save time and improve productivity. Join the millions worldwide who use Workstation to:

• Host legacy applications and overcome platform migration issues
• Configure & test new software or patches in an isolated environment
• Automate tasks for software development and testing
• Demonstrate multi-tier configurations on a single PC

Use Multiple Operating Systems Concurrently on the Same PC

VMware Workstation makes it simple to create and run multiple virtual machines on your desktop or laptop computer. You can convert an existing physical PC into a VMware virtual machine, or create a new virtual machine from scratch. Each virtual machine represents a complete PC, including the processor, memory, network connections and peripheral ports.

VMware Workstation lets you use your virtual machines to run Windows, Linux and a host of other operating systems side-by-side on the same computer. You can switch between operating systems instantly with a click of a mouse, share files between virtual machines with drag-and-drop functionality and access all the peripheral devices you rely on.

Take Snapshots & Videos of your Virtual Machines

With Workstation, you can take a “snapshot” that preserves the state of a virtual machine so you can return to it at any time. Snapshots are useful when you need to revert your virtual machine to a prior, stable system state. Workstation displays thumbnails of all your snapshots on a single screen, making it easy for you to track and revert to a previously saved snapshot.

You can even use Workstation 6 to record and play video files that capture all changes to a virtual machine over a period of time. This function is exclusive to VMware Workstation and is incredibly useful for software debugging, Help Desk forensics, sales demonstrations and training.

Run an Entire Multi-tier System on a Single Host Computer

Run multi-tier enterprise applications on a single piece of hardware by managing network-connected virtual machines with the Teams feature of Workstation 6. Teams let you create virtual network environments that include client, server and database virtual machines.

With Workstation Teams, you can turn an entire multi-tier environment on and off with a single click of the mouse button. Workstation displays live thumbnails of all connected virtual machines, enabling you to easily identify and switch between the virtual machines associated with a team.

Clone your Virtual Machines to Accelerate Deployment

Installing operating systems and applications can be time consuming. With clones, you can make many copies of a virtual machine from a single installation and configuration process. This capability makes it fast and simple to distribute standardized computing environments to employees and students, or to create a baseline configuration for testing.

Take Your Virtual Machines With You

New to Workstation 6 is the ability to create and deploy secure virtual machines (called ACEs) with the ACE Option Pack. Mobility is one of the primary benefits of this option pack, as it enables users to securely take their desktops with them on portable media devices such as USB thumb drives.

• Improved compatibility with Microsoft Excel: Enhanced filters provide better-than-ever read and write compatibility with Microsoft Excel files up to and including Excel 2000. Lotus 1-2-3 Release 9.8 reads and writes Excel text, numbers, formulas, formatting, drawings and charts. The Excel Menu finder also trains new 1-2-3 users to navigate 1-2-3.
• @Functions provide analytical power and improved Microsoft Excel compatibility.
• Copy and move worksheets: Lotus 1-2-3 allows users to move and copy entire worksheets. Users can drag the sheet to the desired destination or use the menu.
• SmartLabels: In 1-2-3 Release 9.8, SmartLabels let users summarize a range by typing “Total.” Now, 1-2-3 also recognizes more than a dozen predefined terms such as “Subtotal,” “Maximum” and “Average,” making formula building faster and easier. Users can also add terms, assign synonyms and customize the list of SmartLabels.
• Automatic SmartFill: Filling a range with a sequence of text, dates or times is quicker and easier than ever with SmartFill. 1-23 Release 9.8 anticipates what users would like to type and enters suggested text. If “April” is entered in a cell and “M” is typed in the next cell, 1-2-3 automatically adds “ay” and waits for the user to accept it or type different text.
• More rows: 1-2-3 Release 9.8 worksheets have 65,536 rows.
• Ask the Expert provides detailed answers to users' questions, even if they are entered in the user's own words.

• Copy/Paste: 1-2-3 Release 9.8 can copy row heights and column widths to locations in the spreadsheet, saving setup time.
• Data validation add-in: Lotus 1-2-3 Release 9.8 allows users to set criteria to restrict the type of data they can enter in a cell or range of cells. With the Data Validation Add-in, users restrict cell entries by making sure that the type of data entered meets a particular condition.
• Auto Save: Lotus 1-2-3 Release 9.8 helps minimize data loss if a computer loses power. Users can have 1-2-3 automatically save changes to open files at regular intervals.
• Keyboard switching: Lotus 1-2-3 Release 9.8 allows users to switch to different keyboard layouts while editing a file. This feature is handy for international users.
  

• Web tables: 1-2-3 Release 9.8’s Web tables enable users to send and pull useful data from any table on any HTML page of the Internet or corporate intranet and deliver it directly into a workbook. Stock quotes, for example, can be extracted live from a Web page and pulled into an investment portfolio spreadsheet. The Web table can be refreshed manually or automatically.
• Hyperlinking: Hyperlinks can be assigned to any spreadsheet, cell picture or button. They also can be created for Internet locations, spreadsheet ranges or objects and other files.
• HTML features: 1-2-3 Release 9.8 includes HTML 3.2 support for opening and converting spreadsheet ranges to HTML documents. Spreadsheet-specific extensions allow 1-2-3 users to share files using HTML as a common file format while preserving important spreadsheet information such as cell colors, formats, actual numbers (e.g., p = 3.14159265, not 3.14), named ranges and number formatting. Lotus 1-2-3 also offers native HTML support with XML support.

Linux operating systems

Company / developer:
  Linux Online Inc.

Linux

Linux is an operating system that was initially created as a hobby by a young student, Linus Torvalds, at the University of Helsinki in Finland. Linus had an interest in Minix, a small UNIX system, and decided to develop a system that exceeded the Minix standards. He began his work in 1991 when he released version 0.02 and worked steadily until 1994 when version 1.0 of the Linux Kernel was released. The kernel, at the heart of all Linux systems, is developed and released under the GNU General Public License and its source code is freely available to everyone. It is this kernel that forms the base around which a Linux operating system is developed. There are now literally hundreds of companies and organizations and an equal number of individuals that have released their own versions of operating systems based on the Linux kernel. More information on the kernel can be found at our sister site, LinuxHQ and at the official Linux Kernel Archives. The current full-featured version is 2.6 (released December 2003) and development continues.

Apart from the fact that it's freely distributed, Linux's functionality, adaptability and robustness, has made it the main alternative for proprietary Unix and Microsoft operating systems. IBM, Hewlett-Packard and other giants of the computing world have embraced Linux and support its ongoing development. Well into its second decade of existence, Linux has been adopted worldwide primarily as a server platform. Its use as a home and office desktop operating system is also on the rise. The operating system can also be incorporated directly into microchips in a process called "embedding" and is increasingly being used this way in appliances and devices.

Throughout most of the 1990's, tech pundits, largely unaware of Linux's potential, dismissed it as a computer hobbyist project, unsuitable for the general public's computing needs. Through the efforts of developers of desktop management systems such as KDE and GNOME, office suite project OpenOffice.org and the Mozilla web browser project, to name only a few, there are now a wide range of applications that run on Linux and it can be used by anyone regardless of his/her knowledge of computers. Those curious to see the capabilities of Linux can download a live CD version called Knoppix . It comes with everything you might need to carry out day-to-day tasks on the computer and it needs no installation. It will run from a CD in a computer capable of booting from the CD drive. Those choosing to continue using Linux can find a variety of versions or "distributions" of Linux that are easy to install, configure and use. Information on these products is available in our distribution section and can be found by selecting the mainstream/general public category.
