VMWHAPPYHOLIDAYS
Got this in via email today - although it refers to only buying Fusion below the code works for Workstation as well https://www.vmware.com/a/buylink/9
In the spirit of the holidays, the VMware online store and hosted desktop team (Fusion and Workstation) are running a “Friends and Family” holiday promotion, making VMware Fusion and VMware Workstation (both Linux and Windows-based) available for 50% off list price in the VMware online store (see attached flyer).
Please spread the word about this limited time offer to your friends, family and followers!
What you’re buying:
The promotion is for 50% off of standard, current VMware Fusion and VMware Workstation products, available in the online store. The product is download-only (we don’t sell boxes through the VMware store).
How to redeem:
At the VMware store, start at: http://www.vmware.com/vmwarestore/buyfusion.html and add VMware Fusion to the shopping cart. Once you reach the shopping cart, enter the coupon code “VMWHAPPYHOLIDAYS” in the “Promo Code” section in the shopping cart screen, and click “Apply.” The discount will then be reflected in the price and you can checkout. There is a limit to 3 licenses at this rate per customer.
How long:
This promotion will be good through 11:59PM PT on 1/15/09.
Good find for those using Macs and wanting to run windows in a very very stable environment. The price comes down to USD$39.95 for fusion 2.0 for the Mac.
Admittedly there are many other freeware / shareware programs that can do this - but I've always found vmware one of the best.
