I need to share some folders between two different VMWare virtual machines, one running Linux and one running Windows 7.
How I can do that in simple way?

If you are using vmware workstation it has a shared folder capabilities if you are running the vmware tools on the guest OSes.
you setup a folder on the host and then the guests can access that folder.
Here is documentation for setting this up in workstation 5. http://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_running_shared_folders.html i'm assuming it's similar in later versions.
In exactly the same way as if they were real machines.
Samba installed on the Linux VM can share local data through a network link (either a physical one [two bridged networks to the same adaptor] or an internal or host only network). It can also access Windows shares through the same network.
Install Samba on your host (probably preferred) or on the Linux VM (the next best choice), then map a drive letter in Windows to the Samba share.
