I read that VMware Workstation Pro was now free so I followed the link to download and was presented with instructions that I was required to register for a account before I could download the application. Given that its free to most users and Broadcom provides no direct support other then a community forum. I was annoyed that I needed a user account providing personal informal like name address and phone number. Not to mention my experience with the application has not been very good. This is running Windows 11 24h2 as host and running Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS. I wont continue to use it and Broadcom does not provide a self help means to delete my account either. I did read some bad stories about VMware after Broadcom purchase. But I thought by now those would be ironed out. It is nice to see VmWare workstation and Fusion for Mac's as a free offering but apparently its at the expense of providing no real support.
