You'd think it would be the other way around. I did check out he VMware Server product and it listed that it required Windows or Linux as a host OS. I downloaded and installed it on my Win 7 box. I opened up the documentation and was shocked that it says it requires Windows Server. (They left out the "server" part on the VMware website). Anywho, it looks like VMware Player is what I really need, but that's only for non-commercial use and I'm testing these out at work. I guess MS Virtual PC 2007 if the best option since it's free and will run on Win 7. Is it just me or does it seem odd that the VM server product is free but the VM workstation product isn’t free?

Every expert once started as a rookie. I Guess most of us started with VMware workstation before moving on to ESX. So if you're new to VMware hang on in there, all will be very clear and easy after all in the end. The workstation products are an easier start, because it is installed and used like any other application on your host operating system. Arnim Thanks for sharing Vladan!.
