VMware workstation give you the flexibility to install multiple operating system into a single machine for testing purpose. However the product it is not use for any production use. It is a good tools for software testing and etc. You can download the software from the vmware website at http://www.vmware.com/products/workstation/new.html.

The requirement of VMware workstation will be either Microsoft Windows or Linux. Majority for laptop we are running on Windows 7.The installation is easy for VMware workstation, just follow the instruction on the screen.

Follow the screenshots for the procedure I used and you can have the pre-configured Windows Server 8.If you do have read some other blogs, the Windows Server 8 profile have been remove. If you did see the Windows Server 8 option. That mean you are using the beta version. For the installation I am using the Windows 7 as my base.Please take note you must choose the option "configure the operating system later" as on my screenshot. If you do configure the VM to use ISO, you will have an endless loop.
