I have been using vmware for quite a while and found it to be really flexible and worth the moolah. Why don't you download the eval and try it out for yourself. Does anyone know a open-source alternative? Also, can anyone give me names of open source vulnerability assessment softwares like nessus?

well i dont know about you...but i think that having a saperate station is much better than vmware..besides....do u really think it deserves 20k...just like do u really think XP deserves whatever it costs....they just skyrocket their prices 'cause they know they do not have a competing product.besides i did not say you have to patch it...it was only a personal opinion of what i would do if i ever felt the need to install vmware since i am seriously not the kinda guy who will shell out that kind of money for a peice of software(and i sincerely hope these mailing lists are not monitored...by people who would not take these comments politely...:)).

buy their work,... rather by providing their evaluation versions they are actually helping you to make an informed decision.
They are charging you for the benefits that they feel they bring you, and most of their customers are more than willing to pay the price.
From the point of view of the customers business, the money that they charge is more than made up from the benfits of the software.
I heard that the VMWare workstation costs about 20k .. how much does a separate machine cost you?
