vmware.rsc02.net— It just popped up on the VMWare homepage (link is to signup for the beta). Hope Steve wasn't planning on this being a big suprise :(

Bummer, beta only, and not yet available at that? I'd hoped VMWare had made more progress than that by now.Here's hoping VMWare will be able to run Windows from the Bootcamp partition, unlike Parallels (without a tedious workaround, that is).Two different robust virtualization apps (VMWare and Parallels) + Bootcamp = a big win for Mac users and Mac users-to-be. More market share - coming up!
First Parallels, now VMware...both of these companies have given Windows, Linux and now Apple a little love by gracing them with a native version of their excellent virtualization software! I hope one or both of these companies turns its attention to BSD (as in FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD.) The only thing keeping me from using FreeBSD as my full-time workstation OS of choice is the lack of an easy-to-use virtualization program such as VMWare or Parallels. I'm sure there are many others out there who agree.
If Mac OS X truly is as useless as some people say then why is there an entire project dedicated to trying to install and run it on all sorts of strange combinations of hardware...?That just doesn't make sense to me...
Responsys handles marketing campaigns, provides statistics and handles data aggregation for many companies. Just like many high traffic sites use Akamai to handle their server load, many companies use providers like Responsys to handle their marketing campaigns. This is NOT a spam or phishing site. The original URL is <a class="user" href="http://www.vmware.com/macos">http://www.vmware.com/macos</a>
What I would *REALLY* like to see is a virtual machine solution that would allow me to make virtual images of OS X and run them on my Macintosh desktop. As I do a fair amount of software/script testing, I would love to be able to test these on a fresh copy of the OS without having to reinstall OS X every time. Currently, I use drive shield for this, but would much prefer a virtualized solution.
I use GuestPC... it's not great, but it works quite well with just about any reasonably positioned OS (i.e. I bet Vista wouldn't work...)I have a Win98 and a Slackware "PC" on my Powermac... I use the Windows98 guestPC to play Stars!, and I use the Slackware Box to fiddle...But, the Mac Pros look schweet. ;) I guess I know what I'll be getting next spring. ;)
