VMWare Player ?

I just checked my WGU VMWare account and they added VMWare Player to the account. I've checked through a few threads here trying to find more info on it and got very little.
I was just wondering if anyone here uses it or has used it and some of the basics : Hardware requirements, why I would want to use it and what it is best suited for.
Just want this info to see if it is worth the effort and time to download it.

Basically, it just lets you run existing VMs. Its pretty much their lowest rung product.

Yeah, I was just checking it out. It's also already available free.
The version 3.0 allows you to create VM's but since I already have workstation it wouldn't be worth it to dl.

If you are already using Workstation 6 or 7 then you don't need Player 3, unless you need VMware on more machines than you have Workstation licenses for.
