well anything an average user wants to do with virtualization is offered for
free by VMware. VMPlayer lets you run VMs on linux/windows and VM fusion on
Mac.

But, there are a bunch of cool things in Workstation which don't exist in
server/VMPlayer.. Its targeted towards companies who use it in QA testing or
in need of support.

You can do VM snapshots, cloning, teaming, shared folders with guest, etc.
which you can't with VMPlayer or Server. Also server only runs on windows.
