Agreed, they could yank it; though, they say they are committed to making it free. With the FOSS virtuilization apps and MS making theirs free too, I don't think we'll ever see this technology become pay to play ever again. It's the datacenter monitoring and aggregation tools were they're going to make their money.The VMWare server is a closed-source proprietary application. They can always yank new versions from the current pricing structure. It is actually out of beta, however.
In fact, I just installed 1.0.1 today on my box so that I could play around with it and have access to a Linux machine from North Central when I go back. So far, I have installed a copy of "etch" and downloaded a couple of the VMTN machines to play with. Next is to see how well BeOS plays with it, just for curiousity's sake.
