OSNews, Generic OSes 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.

RE: Video Drivers

Yup, BeOS won't run on VMWare correctly anyway of other I/O issues, not just the video (which runs in very slow VESA, more info here: http://www.osnews.com/comment.php?news_id=87 ). There is an API to write a VMWare video driver though, so the OpenSTEP folks and the SkyOS guy have already wrote such a driver in order to get better acceleration.
