AFAICT, the use pattern for the two is different: The VMware 
Workstation user is expect to work primarily with the unemulated host 
OS and only secondarily with the emulated guest OS, whereas the VMware 
Server user is expected to work (exclusively?) with an emulated OS.

This means that most of the time the VMware Server user is running an 
application on an OS that itself is running on anther OS, whereas the 
VMware Workstation user is just running an application on an OS.
