RE:"VMware Player Easiest way to run virtual machines (and it's FREE) "

Maybe if you're actually able to download the damn thing!!!  I have tried over a dozen times now to download it by going to http://www.vmware.com/go/downloadplayer but the damn page never loads!!!  I have tried using both Firefox and IE9, and with both when I tried to login the login page seemed to freeze, so I clicked another link and then it showed me as being logged in.  I wanted to make sure I had the most recent version for use under Win7 64 bit.  I found a version on Filehippo but I don't know if it's a 64 bit version or not since it wants to install to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\'.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, I was finally able to get the download page (and the TOS page) to load, (seems they finally fixed it just a matter of minutes ago) and I was able to confirm that the copy I downloaded from Filehippo was the current 'multi' installer for both 32 bit and 64 bit Windows platforms.  Was just really pissed off that every time I seem to want to download VMWare Player the site seems be having problems.  Hopefully they at least got the issue with downloading the guest addition ISO's fixed in this version.

VMware does not use the term "guest addition", I believe it's VirtualBox that uses "Guest Additions".  VMware Uses, VMware Tools.
