The links you provided are about trying to run VMware ESX server, VMware's bare-metal hypervisor (runs directly on the host machine, without a host OS), inside of VMware Workstation or Player. See for example this link, which is about VMware Server not needing VT: In fact, usually VT needs to be enabled in the BIOS, because there are attacks on VT (and similar technologies) such as the BluePill attack that are pretty scary. E.g., VMware Workstation allows you to enable VT use, but the default on my machine is to not use it. VMware frequently does not use VT, because their technology often provides better performance than is possible with VT. Unsupported OS's may still work but performance may be poor or there may just be some compatibility issues that do not affect you so its always worth a try. You can find the full list of supported Guest OS's in the document linked above. Many Ubuntu versions are supported but generally VMware Tools support for the most recent releases tends to take some time.
