Sending System Data and Usage Statistics to VMware

The User experience improvement program setting controls whether you participate in the VMware User Experience Improvement Program.

To participate in or opt out of the program, select or deselect the Help improve VMware Player check box.

When you participate in the program, Workstation Player sends anonymous system data and usage statistics to VMware. Workstation Player creates log files for the collected data and stores the data on the host computer.
