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 _hope_ it's a LOT more than "30 % faster than its predecessor", which I found totally unusable on my system (Athlon 2000, 1 GB RAM, GEForce2 video): for that, I found
response time per keystroke or mouse-click on the order of 15-30 seconds. The culprit seems to have been its inability to work within my usual desktop -- 8 desks at 2048x1536. (I am unwilling to go back from the "desktop metaphor" to the "porthole metaphor" just so I can run a few MS apps -- Crossover Office does a much better job of that for me. VMWare 3.x was _useless_!
