History of InstantLinux/VMware

'''VMware''' runs an entire operating system in a window. This means Windows users can run Linux, including [Local:InstantLinux Linux LiveCDs], without leaving their current desktop, and vice-versa. A free software "player" is required to run these operating system "appliances". They are very easy to install and use.
