Also to OP, just because it's the latest release doesn't mean it's the best release. Actually it's usually the exact opposite. New releases tend to have bugs which need to get patched, it's like that with any application. The firsts are usually buggy and then when released and spread various errors start arising and then there's an update. With changes made from 10.04 to 12.04 there were some big changes that were made that makes the OS less stable than the latter. Whenever I get an Ubuntu image its always the LTS. Also keep an eye out, I'm uploading VMWare 9 at the moment... Its just a 400mb file so keep your eyes peeled for when I post it.
I want to say something here.
To some extent you are right, my friend, but I'll say that it is not always so.As in case of windows,every new version is better than the previous one,more secure.
BTW,thanks for uploading the VMWare workstation,but people like me(with downloading speed 20kbps in IDM) cannot download that cause EZ server doesn't support resuming.
