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 keep seeing posts about "you can buy a second computer for less than the prive of VMWare". Perhaps, but can you buy 5 computers for less than the price of VMWare? It is not restricted to one session. I have hosted in Linux while running a Windows VM and a FreeBSD VM. If you have enough RAM, you can run many concurrent VMs. Of course, you don't have to run them concurrently. You can have 10 VMs and run any one of them. So, are we keeping count? Maybe a PC can cost less than VMWare, but can 10 PCs cost less?
