A friend told me that VMware 6.5 cant compile new kernel module, so that VMware cant work, he suggested me to use VMware 7.1 . I want to install VMware because I have 2 Virtual Machines running on Windows, I think if I install VMware on UBUNTU, it can load 2 VM I configured .

VirtualBox can have infinite VMs in itself.

VirtualBox is open source/free.
