VMWare Workstation. VMWare is no longer just one product. In fact,
they don't seem to push workstation much anymore. Their product that is
meant to compete with Xen is called ESX.
VMWare Workstation emulates hardware that ends up being called things
like "VMWare branded disk drive", etc. I think they've made some
strides in 6.0 with getting better 3D support, but I haven't really
tested it. You should probably just read through their features and ask
on the forums.
