The machine can be running one or more VMs without displaying any of them and the console utility can run on the same or a different machine (cross platform), connecting only when you need it. Workstation ties the display to the runtime and adds some features that would be most useful in development like multiple save/restore snapshots (server permits one, player none), cloning VM images from a common ancestor with only the changes taking storage space, and controlling groups of virtual machines in single operations.
Thanks for cleaning up the picture! One small further difference seems to be that WS doesn't need any patches on F7. But perhaps the most recent version of vmware-server doesn't need any either. Andras
