title: Which VMware version for development?
body: <p>I'm lost among the zillion versions of VMware. Which one should I choose? </p>
  
  <p>I just want to:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>create VM's</li>
  <li>take snapshots</li>
  <li>run it on top of a third party host OS (no ESX)</li>
  <li>get the least resource intensive for the host OS</li>
  <li><strong>UPDATE:</strong> get it free if possible ("as in free beer") </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I first went for VMware server but isn't it a bit overkill for my use? I will only run 1 VM.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your suggestions, </p>
