Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel. The legality of the shares of Common Stock being registered pursuant to this Registration Statement will be passed upon for the Registrant by Paul T.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers Section 67 of Chapter 156B of the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts authorizes a Massachusetts corporation to indemnify any director, officer, employee or other agent of the corporation, any person who serves at its request as a director, officer, employee or other agent of another organization, or any person who serves at its request in any capacity with respect to any employee benefit plan, to whatever extent specified in or authorized by (i) the articles of organization, (ii) a by-law adopted by the stockholders or (iii) a vote adopted by the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote on the election of directors. The Registrant's Restated Articles of Organization include a provision that eliminates the personal liability of each of its directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the extent provided by applicable law, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability, except for liability, to the extent required by Section 13(b)(1 1/2) or any successor provision of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law, (a) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under sections 61 or 62 of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law, or (d) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. In addition, the Registrant's Amended and Restated By-laws provide that (a) the Registrant shall, to the extent legally permissible, indemnify each of its directors and officers (including persons who act at its request as directors, officers or trustees of another organization or in any capacity with respect to any employee benefit plan) against all liabilities and expenses, except with respect to any matter as to which such director or officer shall have been adjudicated in any proceeding not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that such individual's action was in the best interests of the Registrant or, to the extent that such matter relates to service with respect to any employee benefit plan, in the best interests of the participants or beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan; (b) the Registrant is authorized to pay expenses, including counsel fees, from time to time reasonably incurred by any director or officer in connection with the defense or disposition of any such action, suit or other proceeding in advance of the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by such director or officer to repay to the Registrant the amounts so paid by the Registrant if it is ultimately determined that indemnification for such expenses is not authorized under the Amended and Restated Bylaws; (c) the right of indemnification under the Amended and Restated By-laws shall not be exclusive of or affect any other rights to which any director or officer may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law. The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers providing for the indemnification of such director or executive officer, as applicable, to the extent legally permissible and the payment of expenses, including counsel fees reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding in which such individual may be involved by reason of such individual being or having been a director or officer of the Registrant. Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed. Not applicable. Item 8. Exhibits. The following exhibits are filed as part of or incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement: 4.1 VMware, Inc. 1998 Stock Plan. 5.1 Opinion of Paul T. Dacier, Senior Vice President and General Counsel to the Registrant, as to the legality of the securities being registered. 23.1 Consent of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Independent Accountants. 23.2 Consent of Paul T. Dacier, Senior Vice President and General Counsel to the Registrant (contained in the opinion filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Registration Statement). 24.1 Power of Attorney (included on the signature pages to this Registration Statement). Item 9. Undertakings The Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering; (4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the Town of Hopkinton, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on the 9th day of January, 2004.
