This is <i>really</i> a shame. I have bought many VMWare versions over the years (both Workstation and Fusion). I have always liked the product for it&#x27;s performance and nice interface.<p>I have fond memories of VMWare Express, the first VMWare that I bought. It was a restricted version of VMWare workstation that could only run Windows 9x (Win4Lin was also nice), but all that I could afford on a student budget. At some point I even got it working on NetBSD with its Linux compatibility layer and (IIRC) some NetBSD kernel modules that someone implemented for VMWare Workstation 2.x. There&#x27;s still a screenshot on the NetBSD website sporting my NetBSD desktop with VMWare Express in 2002:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.netbsd.org&#x2F;gallery&#x2F;in-Action&#x2F;dekok-vmware.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.netbsd.org&#x2F;gallery&#x2F;in-Action&#x2F;dekok-vmware.png</a>
