I may be mistaken, but I think you're talking about VPC (Virtual PC) which MS bought about two years ago.
Previous to that it was available for various host Operating Systems (OS/2 and Linux for example) but when MS
bought it they dropped the non-MS host capabilities.

As far as I know VMWare was a Novell product and was spun off as a seperate company.
