Sorry to take anyone's time with an OT posting. But,
if you are testing various Oracle Server versions in a
development lab or possibly on a mobile laptop then
maybe you can benefit.
After messing about with MS Virtual PC 2004, I was
keen on a few missing features. Well, VMWare must have
read my mind...
1) There is a new 4.5 version of VMWare Workstation
(dated 15 Mar 2004) that now additionally supports:
A) RH Enterprise 3.0 as a Guest OS
B) Support for SuSE LINUX 9.0 as a Guest OS
C) Updated LINUX support for 2.6 kernels, and some
advanced features in RH 9 as a Guest OS.
D) Support for Netware 6.5 as a Guest OS.
The complete Guest OS info can be viewed at:
http://www.vmware.com/support/guestnotes/doc/index.html
2) VMWare Workstation is supposed to be able to use XP
Home/Pro as the Host OS for laptop users. I have not
tested this so I'd be interested in any support issues
running VMWare Workstation on an XP Host OS. Please
advise if you have tested it.
3) I also asked the sales rep about interchanging
files between VMWare Server 3.x and Workstation 4.x.
Apparently, its being tested in beta, possibly for a
future release.
4) Also, there appears to be a referral program that
gets the 'referee' some points (not sure what for) and
the 'referred' customer gets a 5% discount price.

Plus, promotional offers (free faculty and MCT, $100
discount for MCSE/MCP):

Hth. :-)

<SPAM> If someone wants to 'refer' me so I can get the
5% discount purchase, maybe you can email me direct?
