VMWare workstation has the snapshot feature...
VMWare Server (and it's big brother ESX) are focused on running machines in
production. They run on production operating systems (Windows Server and
Linux). The have tools for running many machines from a shared console.
Workstation is aimed at the individual developer.

What I'm still trying to figure out is if VMWare Server is coming out free,
why should I keep using and buying upgrades for my copy of VMWare
Workstation?
I've seen several comparisons on their website between VMWare Server and
both GSX and ESX, but what I'd really like to see is a comparison between it
and workstation.

P.S. If I can start running headless sessions, I'll be very happy.

The article (one of them at least) seemed to indicate it would be free
beyond the beta period. Of not, all of their betas are generally free
downloads (I downloaded workstation 5.0 beta for free anyway) and they
all expire. If this is going to be free for good, I would still expect
the beta to expire since, "that's how they do it."

It is indeed free, but only until its in "Beta" version. I
downloaded a copy (I already own VMware workstation) and it will
expire on 7/13/06. So it won't be free forever it seems.
