If I had to guess, I think he means that vmware is available on Linux 
and Windows, and moving a VM can be as easy as copying the VM directory 
over and launching it.  I haven't looked, but would imagine Fusion on 
the Mac could also do this (isn't Fusion their Mac version of VMWare?)

I see VMWare workstation and Server for free...?

The pay versions have support and extra features for management.
