VMware is a software application that allows the user to run multiple virtual machines from a single hardware installation. If you are running the VMware Workstation software on a computer, for example, you can use VMware to run two Windows XP installations or an XP and a Vista installation. When you are working in one of the virtual machines, you must first return to the VMware console if you want to switch to a different virtual machine. You can get to a VMware console session from within the virtual machine using keyboard commands.
Press and hold the "Ctrl" key.
