The "commercial" repository was renamed to "partner" in recent
releases.  I don't know why VMware is not in there any longer, but for
Hardy all I see is Opera :-(  Personally, I moved away from VMware to
VirtualBox out of spite of having to enter a license key and also
because the VMware package includes modules for like every damn
version of Linux ever created and has become bloated beyond
usefulness...
