If you have a mixed network like I do sometimes you have to compromise. At my job we run Windows, Linux and a sole Mac (Graphics dept.) and lets face it, when you do consulting work and if you design and develop custom applications you have to be able to develop for your clients platform and as much as I hate it, it's a Windows world. Before I used to have 2 workstations, one Windows and one Linux, or I had to dual boot. In the past, virtual machines have been lacking. Either they were too slow or lacking a certain pizazz to get the job done. Enter
VMWare Workstation 4.
I wish I had VMWare. But I have no real use for it, and I can't afford it. That said, I've always found it interesting. Now onto a question. VMWare uses special drives for video right? I mean on the windows/linux/whatever guest you have to install a driver they made to run in anything other than VGA mode, right? So that means that it won't run BeOS or some other guests OSes except in a low quality video mode, correct?
