OS X works fine in a VMware session, search around it is out there. I saw it
running and the Rosetta stuff works (drag and drop an app from PowerPC
platform and it runs)....

I am there now! But heck, I can multitask too..
Not to mention I'm working while the others are speaking.. :-)
But really, what I want to do is run OS X in a VM. I heard you can do it, I
have not seen it though. not to mention, I do not have a copy it. Has
anyone tried it?
OK, I guess I better get back to this show. It is great stuff. RES is
speaking right now and I just love their software. Then it is Softricity's
turn... I want to learn more about their new CEO! :-)
Have a great day all!

Well done Tim. There will be demand for all of these products. Nobody has
the answer for everything. It's like asking which is better. SMS, Altiris,
Landesk etc... They all have their place and determining which one is the
best depends on many many factors. What size is the organization, what are
you trying to accomplish? blah blah blah... The same goes for Virtual PC
and VMware. Their are reasons to pick one over the other. I have customers
that use both and swear by both.
Now for a serious question. Which is better, a PC or a MAC? :)

I tried, but I can't stay out of this subject. Predictions:
1) Longhorn will not make citrix irrelevant.
2) There will be customers that choose native terminal services over citrix
because longhorn is "good enough" considering $$
3) Citrix will not make Softricity irrelevant.
4) There will be customers that choose AIE and whatever citrix renames
"Tarpon" into over softricity, because it is "good enough".
5) Most customers that have a specific need will choose the best solution.
Softricity always will do app virtualization better than citrix, citrix will
always do remote users better than microsoft.
6) Best of all, you don't really have to choose. You can still run softgrid
using citrix on microsoft terminal servers. Even if they publicly feud.
