I'm sorry. The whole notion of VMware seems somehow perverse to me. I guess it works for people, but I expect it would be more problem than solution. The face that people have two OS's running on the same chip at the same time amazes me orders of magnitude more than the KDE running on XP
Better get used to the idea... I've been running virtual machines and OS's since 1969. I think it's here to stay.....
Is it really a virtual machine architecture? I guess that's why they call it _V_M_ ware, eh? I assume VMware sits on top of the chip, and intercepts the calls from the two OS's and parcels out the resources as it sees fit. If everybody involved were playing nicely together, it wouldn't bother me. It's just that Bill always seem to be trying to break such things. About a year back, Sun filed suit for a $Billion U.S. because XP broke Java. That /is/ 10.00^9. How does it deal with network connections, and other potentially competing resources?
