[New: openFATE 313162] Update VMware version in VMX files
Feature added by: M. Edward Ed Borasky (znmeb) Feature #313162, revision 1 Title: Update VMware version in VMX files SUSE Studio: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: M. Edward Ed Borasky (znmeb) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The current version of SUSE Studio creates VMware virtual machines that are many versions behind where VMware is. I believe they're currently being generated as version 4, while VMware has versions 5, 6, 6.5, 7 and 8. I would say generate them at version 7 - VMware Workstation 8 just came out a few months ago and I don't know how many people have upgraded that far yet. But just about everyone who's *active* on VMware should be at least on 7. Test Case: Create a virtual machine in SUSE Studio. Download it and open it in VMware Workstation. You'll get a dialog asking if you want to upgrade it. Use Case: The current version of VMware machines won't play with the "Unity" option. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Mostly it's because of Unity in VMware Player. Player doesn't have the upgrade option, and I don't want my users to have to buy Workstation to use Unity. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313162
