With launch of Workstation 6.0, VMware completely revamps feature set currently deployed in all company products, from Player to ESX Server, so that introduced innovations dramatically unbalance comparison with VMware Server.
In some enterprise scenarios this comparison is not even suitable, considering key differences in this two products, but lastest Workstation releases are exposing a serious amount of server-like capabilities, so that customers may start evaluating both for smalles deployments.
To simplify decision process virtualization.info today releases a new version of its feature comparison between these two solutions.

Great comparison. Gives a simplified view of all the features of both products in a glance.
However I'm not sure about the following:
- VMware Server should support running in headless mode. Since the applications runs as a service, VMs can be running even if you don't login into the host and if you close the applications while running, they will still keep on running in the background.
- As far as I know, VMWare Server can be installed on Windows XP and 2000, so I guess they should not be listed as unsupported host OS.
Other than these two points, the rest of the comparison seems good.
Thanks!
Gianni.

There is so much confusion on this topic. It is great to see a feature comparison.
There are some missing Workstation 6 features:
- Vista hosts and guests
- USB 2.0
- A VM can span multiple monitors
- Integrated VNC server (allows remote use)
- IDE integration with Visual Studio and Eclipse
