VMWare Player in Multiverse?

[Mehdi Hassanpour]

Can you please tell me which version of VMWare you are using that has good
speed and you have tested that on Breezy...
I need a testing area, Qemu is very slow and I cannot work with that and
I've heared VMWare is not a free software and we should register that to
use... do you know any free other free solution ?

Thanks Friends
Mehdi
