I have run the (commercial, proprietary) vmware workstation on my 64-bit Ubuntu for a year or so now. It works fine. The only problem was that it didn't set the title bar on the window, so when switching between windows I had to remember that the unnamed one was the vmware window. In the latest release of vmware workstation that too is fixed.

(Warning: you might have to install some 32-bit libs to run vmware. Not sure if this is still true with the latest version.)

(Hint: apply Petr's latest vmware-any-any patch.)
