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.

After reading this articles and all the comments I think I'll upgrade after all. I thought VMware 3 was quite fast but if this is supposed to be 30% faster that's great.
One comment on speed. Old VMware 3 is significantly faster in full screen mode. Does version 4 behave in the same way? In that case, that could account for the 30% increase that is mentioned.
Anyway, VMware regardless of version is a great tool when developing networked applications like chat clients etc.
A bit high price tag for home users perhaps, but if you
use it in your profession it soon saves you money instead.
