IIRC VMWare Workstation is not free (~$189USD), but VMWare Player is free to download and use, only problem with that is that you need a software that creates virtual machine files that VMWare Player can read. I personally use PC User Virtual Machine Shop Lite which i got from an Australian PC magazine, although i have had to edit the vmx files to make it work properly.

AFAIK you must have virtual disk files so that VMWare Player can read from that

I Probably wouldnt do that (expecially if youre running vista). Apparantly the uploader of the torrent that has VMWare Workstation has said that if you do not remove the VMWareAuditService.exe (something like that) from startup, then everytime you use VMWare Workstation, VMWare will check your product licence, and if it is not valid then they will black list your IP. Also by removing the startup entry on Vista, it renders the whole program unusable. I could be wrong as i dont know this for a fact (except the Vista thing), but i will get the source of my info
EDIT: Torrent and Source removed from mininova, but i found the original torrent file that stated the problem for vista here
