You will very impressed about virtualization please read below release note

VMWARE:
- KEYSTROKES
– ctrl-alt: toggle mouse out of vmware
– ctrl-alt-insert: replaces ctrl-alt-delete inside VMware
– toggling full screen: ctrl-alt-enter
– to open another VMware session in another window: File -> New Window
– vmware tools package
– install: VM -> Install VMware Tools -> …
- COPY
– to copy a VM session, copy the .vmx and the .vmdk files
- SNAPSHOTS
– defined

– snapshot the virtual machine to preserve its state, including the data on its virtual disks
– You can continue working and return to the snapshot state at any time
– useful if you wish to undo changes you made to the virtual machine
– You can take a snapshot at any time and revert to that snapshot at any time
– whether the virtual machine is powered on, powered off, or suspended
– using
– Use the Snapshot and Revert buttons on the toolbar
– the new snapshot replaces the previous snapshot
– You can have only one active snapshot at a time.
– what is captured in a snapshot
– The state of all the virtual machine’s disks
– The contents of the virtual machine’s memory
– The virtual machine settings
– removing a snapshot
– You can remove the snapshot any time the virtual machine is powered off
– To remove the snapshot
– shut down and power off the virtual machine
– choose Snapshot > Remove Snapshot.
- VIRTUAL DISKS
– configuring
– VM > Settings > Hardware > Hard Disk
– You can configure settings for a virtual disk when its virtual machine is powered off
– defragmenting
– Click Defragment to defragment the virtual disk.
– This rearranges the data on the virtual disk so that the individual blocks are contiguous
– Using defragment improves performance of your virtual disk
– Defragmenting the disk can be a time-consuming process
