LOL. You think the only reason for running VMware is for Windows support?
As a consultant it is one of the most valuable tools I own. I can run any Linux, BSD, or Windows version I want. I keep a respository of clean installs which lets me instantly extract a clean system to test with. This lets me test installs, different system configurations, software I wouldn't normally install, etc. I can setup entire networking environments (including mixed OS's, Linux, BSD, Windows, etc.) for testing...
I could go on and on. I can't easily express how useful VMware is.
