Install VMware 10.0.3 in Centos 7
I have successfully installed my licensed version (not open source, just in case they are different) of vmware to centos 7. Then I opened VMware Player. The final build failed, so i searched the internet and found two different patches. I tried both, but neither worked. Below is the error I get - gcc, gcc-c++, kernel-devel, kernel-headers, and make are installed...

perhaps the upgrade coming out this December will be compatible
In the meantime VirtualBox is fully compatible, and stop swearing.

i loaded VirtualBox, but the is too slow - GUI is choppy with Centos VM

crap! :)
It defaults to SVGA xorg driver. You need to install virtualbox guest additions for normal graphics (like vmware tools). They support DKMS to survive kernel upgrades.
