I've had some experience with VMware - I use it for
demonstrations for my tutorials, and we've run GSX server and
now ESX server at work.

Basically, for the workstation, it comes down to what's your
native desktop platform.  It really doesn't matter, as each
version will run the same OSes.  If you have a Linux desktop,
buy the Linux version.  If you have the Windows desktop,
buy the Windows version - its really that simple.

Somehow I doubt you want the Windows version, otherwise you
could just run your application natively - or am I missing
something here?

Thanks,
Brad
