Top five free tools from VMware Labs

VMware Boomerang is a tool that runs in Windows and allows you to quickly access the consoles of all your VMs with just a click of a mouse. It's great for accessing virtual desktops or any of your virtual servers. It's better than using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) because you are actually accessing the console, meaning that when you connect, you don't kick off another user who is connected via RDP. VMware Boomerang offers a simple interface, allows you to save your credentials and gives you the ability to search for VMs.
