Workstation 7 RC – With A Side of Awesome

I caught wind of VMware Workstation 7 having been released today from VM/Etc. It can be downloaded from here. Amongst the exciting features are a few that caught my eye:

AutoProtect

This one had me do a double take actually:

Screenshot-Virtual Machine Settings

The AutoProtect interval can be set to half-hourly, hourly, and daily. From there you can set the maximum number of snapshots to maintain to provide you a variety of restore options.

Encryption

 Screenshot-Virtual Machine Settings-1

This is another one that qualifies as pretty slick. VMware Workstation will actually go about encrypting your VM. Useful for VMs that may otherwise contain sensitive data.
